Plata makes request, Flamengo excuse forward from Thursday training | OneFootball

What was the request Plata made to Flamengo?

By: Rodrigo Lima

The forward Gonzalo Plata was scheduled to return on the morning of this Thursday (11), at the Ninho do Urubu Training Center. However, the Ecuadorian had his request granted by Flamengo and, as a result, will return to training on Friday (12).

According to the report by Coluna do Fla, Plata, who was on duty for Ecuador during the FIFA Date, requested from Flamengo one more day off to enjoy and spend time with his family in the local country. With the club's approval, the forward stayed, but he is expected to return to training this Friday (12).

Plata was on Ecuador's call-up list during the last FIFA Date. In the first match against Paraguay, the athlete played only in the final 20 minutes. However, against Argentina, in Guayaquil, the Flamengo forward was a starter. Also reported by Coluna do Fla, the player did not present any physical problems.

HOW WAS THE TRAINING AT FLAMENGO TODAY?

While Plata got one more day off, Samuel Lino, Viña, and Carrascal returned to work this Thursday (11). The trio, who were on duty for Brazil, Uruguay, and Colombia, respectively, were available to Filipe Luís throughout the activity. Thus, the athletes strengthen the team against Juventude.

AND THE FLAMENGO ABSENCES?

For the next match of the season, Flamengo has two confirmed absences: Erick Pulgar and Alex Sandro. This is because, while the midfielder is undergoing the final stages of surgery on the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, the right-back is still treating a left calf injury. Finally, Varela (pubalgia) and Jorginho (thigh pain) are doubtful.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

The next game for Flamengo will be against Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match will kick off at 4 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (14), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul. Thus, Coluna do Fla will show the match details on YouTube. Meanwhile, Amazon Prime (streaming) will broadcast the match.
