Leonardo Jardim ramps up Flamengo prep before Libertadores clash | OneFootball

Flamengo’s training session is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. (Brasília time)

Flamengo beat Fluminense 2-1 last Sunday (12) in a match valid for the 11th round of the Brasileirão. After the win in the derby, the Rubro-Negro squad had Monday (13) off. On Tuesday (14), Fla’s squad returned to training. Now, this Wednesday (15), Leonardo Jardim is stepping up preparations for the Most Beloved.

According to details of the schedule released by Flamengo, the Rubro-Negro squad has training this Wednesday afternoon (15). Therefore, at Ninho do Urubu, Leonardo Jardim will lead Flamengo’s session scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. (Brasília time).

It is worth noting that, last Tuesday (14), Flamengo held a training session open to the press. Thus, at Ninho do Urubu, part of the Rubro-Negro activity was followed by journalists who cover the club’s day-to-day affairs.

What is Fla’s next match?

In short, Flamengo will face Independiente Medellín (COL) in the second round of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores this Thursday (16). The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã.

It is worth remembering that Flamengo won its first group-stage match of the Libertadores against Cusco (PER). As a result, the Most Beloved has three points in Group A, but is currently in second place because Estudiantes (ARG) beat the Peruvian side on Tuesday (14).

It is important to point out that, if they beat Independiente Medellín this Thursday (16), Flamengo will retake the lead in Group A of the 2026 Libertadores. Finally, the Colombian team has only one point in the South American competition.
