Flamengo to add reinforcements for Libertadores tie v Estudiantes | OneFootball

Which player is Flamengo preparing for the game against Estudiantes (ARG)?

Flamengo is taking advantage of the FIFA Date period to intensify preparation and, in addition, to recover injured athletes. One of the athletes undergoing this process is Alex Sandro, who is being prepared to reinforce the team for decisive games against Estudiantes (ARG), for the Libertadores quarterfinals.

Alex Sandro suffered a calf injury in his left leg during Flamengo's 8-0 rout over Vitória, in a Brasileirão match. Given this situation, the full-back missed the Rubro-Negro 1-1 draw with Grêmio, which marked the team's last match before the FIFA Date. It is worth noting that for this reason, Ancelotti cut the number 26 from the Brazilian National Team list.

HOW IS ALEX SANDRO'S RECOVERY AT FLAMENGO?

At the moment, Alex Sandro is under the supervision of Flamengo's Medical Department. Since the squad's return after days off, the number 26 has been doing specific exercises to 'get rid' of pains in his left calf.

Both on Friday (05) and on Saturday (06), Alex Sandro carried out individual and internal work at the CT Ninho do Urubu gym. In this way, the full-back will follow the stipulated schedule to be fit to play against Estudiantes.

WHEN ARE THE FLAMENGO X ESTUDIANTES MATCHES?

The matches between Flamengo and Estudiantes are scheduled to take place on the 18th and 25th of September, for the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. The first leg will be played at Maracanã, while the return leg will be in Argentina. Whoever does better in the sum of the two matches advances to the semis.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH?
