Leonardo Jardim replacement set for Flamengo v Medellín, Libertadores | OneFootball

Who will replace Leonardo Jardim on the touchline for Flamengo’s game this Thursday (07)?

Leonardo Jardim will not be able to lead Flamengo in the match against Independiente Medellín (COL), as he was sent off in the previous round of the Libertadores. As a result, assistant coach José Barros will be on the touchline this Thursday (07) in Colombia.

Even though he cannot lead the team against Medellín, Leonardo Jardim took part in all of Flamengo’s preparations. The Portuguese coach is also in Colombia, where the clash valid for the fourth round of the Libertadores group stage will take place.

HAS JOSÉ BARROS ALREADY MANAGED FLAMENGO?

It is important to note that José Barros was the one who took over as Flamengo head coach in the final stretch of the draw with Estudiantes (ARG). On that occasion, the Portuguese assistant made the decisions in the closing minutes of the second half in La Plata, Argentina.

HOW DID LEONARDO JARDIM GET SENT OFF IN FLAMENGO’S LIBERTADORES MATCH?

Leonardo Jardim’s sending-off happened after the coach ‘ran onto’ the pitch to break up the start of a scuffle between Flamengo and Estudiantes players. Because of that action, the Portuguese manager was sent off by referee Piero Maza. After serving his suspension this Thursday (07), the coach will return for the Libertadores clash against the same Argentine team on May 20 at the Maracanã.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE MORE ABSENCES FOR THE MATCH AGAINST MEDELLÍN IN THE LIBERTADORES?

Besides Jardim, Flamengo will also be without Arrascaeta, who is recovering from surgery on his right collarbone, while Erick Pulgar and Lucas Paquetá are dealing with injuries. On the other hand, Carrascal is back in the starting lineup.
