Will Léo Ortiz start for Flamengo v Racing in the Libertadores? | OneFootball

What is Léo Ortiz's situation before Flamengo's game against Racing (ARG) in the Libertadores?

The defender Léo Ortiz is one of the uncertainties in Flamengo's starting lineup for the game against Racing (ARG) in the Libertadores semifinal. Amidst this, the report from Coluna do Fla provides information on the current situation of the number 3 before the clash this Wednesday (29) in Argentina.

After recovering from an ankle strain, Léo Ortiz has been training without any setbacks alongside his teammates. The defender even traveled with the squad for the 'decision' of the Libertadores.

Thus, as reported by Coluna, Tuesday's (28) training session will be crucial for coach Filipe Luís to decide if he will have Léo Ortiz available. If the player trains normally at the Defensa y Justicia (ARG) training center, it will be up to the coach to decide whether or not to include the number 3 in the starting lineup.

WHAT HAPPENED TO LÉO ORTIZ AT FLAMENGO?

Léo Ortiz became unavailable for Flamengo due to an ankle strain suffered in a match against Palmeiras. The injury occurred when Vitor Roque fell on the red-black defender's leg.

In the return match between Flamengo and Racing, Léo Ortiz was an option on the bench but did not play. Now, there is anticipation to see if the defender will return to the starting lineup.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

With Léo Ortiz available, Flamengo faces Racing on Wednesday (29) in the return leg of the Libertadores semifinal. The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at El Cilindro in Argentina.

Flamengo won the first leg 1-0 at Maracanã. Therefore, the Red-Black team can draw in this match and still secure a spot in the grand final of the Libertadores.
