What happened to Lucas Paquetá in Flamengo vs Bragantino?

Flamengo picked up a concern ahead of the match against Santos, in the tenth round of the Brasileirão. That’s because midfielder Lucas Paquetá left the pitch with foot pain and is now a doubt for this Sunday’s clash (05) at the Maracanã.

Lucas Paquetá started the match against Red Bull Bragantino in the starting lineup, but the midfielder did not return for the second half due to discomfort in his foot. The player even watched the second half from the bench with an ice pack on the area.

Given the situation, Lucas Paquetá will undergo a medical reassessment when the team returns to training. This will take place this Friday (03), when the Flamengo squad reconvenes at CT Ninho do Urubu.
