Juventude face key absence for Flamengo clash in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Abner is an Undisputed Starter for Juventude in the Brazilian Championship

Flamengo will only take the field after the FIFA break, on the 14th of this month, against Juventude, away from home, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. Before facing the Most Beloved, the team from Caxias do Sul will not be able to count on defender Abner, the team's starter.

According to information from the portal ‘GZH’, Abner suffered a thigh injury after medical exams. Thus, the 21-year-old defender will be out for at least 20 days, making him unavailable for the game against Flamengo at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul.

WHO IS ABNER?

Abner is only 21 years old and is a starter for Juventude. The player has become a crucial piece for Thiago Carpini's team during the Brazilian Championship campaign. Out of the 22 matches played by the club from Rio Grande do Sul so far, the athlete started in ten, providing one assist during this period.

Despite his young age, Abner is being watched by top teams in Brazil and Europe. Recently, Botafogo started talks with Juventude to try to reach an agreement for the 21-year-old player. However, the club from Caxias do Sul has maintained its stance and will only release the defender upon payment of a significant amount.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION OF THE TEAMS?

Juventude, the club of Abner, has been recovering in the Brazilian Championship. This is because Thiago Carpini's team has won three of its last five matches. As a result, they have reached 21 points and now occupy 18th place in the national tournament, close to Santos, the first team outside the relegation zone.

On the other hand, Flamengo drew with Grêmio in the last round. The Most Beloved wasted numerous chances and ended the match against the team from Rio Grande do Sul with a 1-1 draw at Maracanã. Despite the negative result, the red-and-black team leads the Brazilian Championship with 47 points.
