Racing (ARG) reaches four absences ahead of match against Flamengo

Flamengo and Racing (ARG) are about to start the semifinal clash of the Libertadores this Wednesday (22). The first leg will take place at the Maracanã, while the return match will be in Avellaneda. With the first encounter in mind, the Argentinian team has confirmed yet another absence.

Racing midfielder Alan Forneris suffered a sprain in his left knee and will miss the first match against Flamengo. However, the expectation is that the player will be available for the decisive semifinal match on October 29. The information comes from the Argentine portal ‘Racing de Alma’.

Does Racing have other absences?

It’s worth noting that Alan Forneris was not the first confirmed absence for Racing. That’s because full-back Gabriel Rojas is dealing with a muscle injury in his right thigh. In addition, defender Franco Pardo suffered a grade 3 injury to the adductor of his left thigh, while forward Elias Torres tore a ligament in his knee.

How is Flamengo coming into the match?

Flamengo, for now, has one confirmed absence for the first leg against Racing. That’s because, in the 3-2 victory over Palmeiras, Léo Ortiz suffered a sprain in his left ankle. However, the defender will try to be available for the match in Argentina.

When do Flamengo and Racing face each other?

The first leg between Flamengo and Racing takes place this Wednesday (22), for the semifinal of the Libertadores. The match kicks off at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel) and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Racing match.
