Flamengo have two ruled out for Estudiantes Libertadores trip | OneFootball

Flamengo travel to Estudiantes in La Plata on Wednesday 29 for the Libertadores group stage, and coach Leonardo Jardim will be without Paquetá and Pulgar due to injuries.

According to Coluna Do Fla, both are training individually away from the squad at present, so they remain out of first-team sessions.

Paquetá had been slated to return this week, but heavy workload combined with the injury has pushed back the plan. The medical staff are taking a cautious approach to avoid rushing him and to prevent any aggravation.

Pulgar retains a chance of featuring against Independiente Medellín on seven May in the Libertadores. He will miss the Vasco match in the Brasileirão through automatic suspension.

The Estudiantes game kicks off at 21:30 Brasília time at the Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi, also known as UNO. Flamengo are seeking a positive result to stay top of Group A.
