Flamengo takes the field this Friday (03) to face River Plate (ARG) in a mid-season friendly. With that, coach Eduardo Coudet has already defined the Argentine team’s lineup.
Beltrán; González, Lucas Martínez, Rivero and Marcos Acuña; Fausto Vera, Mauro Arambarri, Tomás Galván and Juan Meza; Facundo Colidio and Sebastián Driussi. Coach: Eduardo Coudet.
It is worth noting that River Plate has some absences due to the World Cup. Gonzalo Montiel, Otamendi, Juanfer Quintero, Kevin Castaño, Matias Galarza, Viña and Kendry Páez are with their respective national teams in the world tournament.
In addition, Aníbal Moreno, who has an injury to the medial collateral ligament in his right knee, will also miss out. Finally, Tobías Ramírez, Juan Portillo and Agustín Ruberto stayed in Buenos Aires recovering from physical issues.
Like River Plate, Flamengo also has absences for this Friday’s match (03). While Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Lucas Paquetá, Danilo and Carrascal remain committed to the World Cup, Arrascaeta, Varela, De La Cruz and Plata are enjoying vacation after Uruguay and Ecuador were eliminated. Finally, Léo Ortiz is in the final stage of treatment after a muscle injury.
