Plata video showing alleged drunkenness goes viral, sparks controversy | OneFootball

Flamengo face Athletico-PR this Sunday (16), and Plata is doubtful

Amid preparations to face Athletico-PR, an alleged video of Gonzalo Plata showing signs of intoxication has been circulating on social media. The Flamengo forward, who is recovering from a knee injury, allegedly appeared at night among friends and drinks.

Watch: Coluna do Fla found out, however, that the alleged moment of relaxation by the Ecuadorian player did not negatively affect his commitments to the club. That is because the athlete showed up normally for training and physiotherapy.

What else is in the alleged video of Plata?

The images allegedly showed Plata with a big smile, while hiding his face so as not to be recorded. Then, one of his companions walks in front of the camera with a cup of something resembling beer. “I’m going home to sleep,” the Flamengo player allegedly said.

Will Plata play against Athletico-PR?

The forward suffered a knee injury during Fla’s win over Grêmio on Sunday (10), in the Brasileirão. As a result, the Ecuadorian missed Mengo’s match against Vitória on Thursday (14), and remains doubtful for the clash with the Paraná club this Sunday (17).

What time is Flamengo vs Athletico-PR?

Flamengo and Athletico-PR face off this Sunday (17), starting at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, for the 16th round of the Brasileirão. Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage, while the broadcast will be on SporTV (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
