Filipe Luís on Pedro’s future before Intercontinental PSG clash | OneFootball

Pedro Returned from Injury After Almost Two Months Away

The forward Pedro returned to play for Flamengo this Saturday (13), against Pyramids (EGY), after a period of inactivity. After the match, coach Filipe Luís mentioned that the striker will undergo evaluation to determine if he will play in the final against PSG (FRA).

— We will wait until Wednesday (17) to know if he will be in the team or not. Without a doubt, he is very different. When he touches the ball, he makes a difference. He came in at the 85th minute and had two goal chances. He knows how to finish and creates danger —, started Filipe Luís.

— And then he created another chance, besides the continuity he gives to the attack. The ball falls at his feet and doesn't die; the play continues. He is a very different player. I hope he can add more training sessions and play more minutes against PSG —, concluded the Flamengo coach.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF PEDRO'S RETURN?

Pedro hadn't played since October 22, when he suffered a fracture in his right forearm. Before that, on the 19th of the same month, the number 9 had suffered a muscle injury. Thus, the forward missed important matches, such as the final stretch of the Brasileirão and the decision of the Copa Libertadores.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

With Pedro available, Flamengo takes the field next Wednesday (17), at 2 PM (Brasília time), against PSG, for the final of the Intercontinental Cup. Thus, Coluna do Fla provides all the information.
