Will Pedro play in the Libertadores final: Flamengo v Palmeiras? | OneFootball

Pedro recovers from forearm fracture and muscle injury in his left thigh

Flamengo is already in Lima, Peru, where they will play the final of the Libertadores da América against Palmeiras on Saturday (29). With the final in mind, the Rubro-Negro has released the squad list with Pedro among the players.

However, despite having traveled with the Flamengo delegation, it is very unlikely that Pedro will take the field on Saturday (29). Internally, the Rubro-Negro club avoids confirming the absence of the number 9. However, Flamengo considers there to be only a minimal chance of having the striker available.

What happened to Pedro?

While recovering from a forearm fracture and having returned to training with the Flamengo squad, Pedro felt pain in his thigh during an activity. After undergoing medical exams, it was confirmed that the number 9 had a muscle injury.

As a result, at the moment, Pedro is not even training with the Flamengo squad. So far, the striker has been undergoing physiotherapy, meaning he is receiving treatment that does not allow for more intense movements given the current stage of the muscle injury.

What did Filipe Luís say?

Recently, in a press conference, Filipe Luís spoke about the matter: “It’s a muscle injury, which is difficult. Just like the arm. But, until the eve that he’s not on the field, I believe he can be there,” he said.

What are the details of the Libertadores final?

In summary, this Saturday (29), Flamengo and Palmeiras will play the final of the Libertadores da América. The match will take place starting at 6:00 p.m. (Brasília time), at Estádio Monumental U, in Lima, Peru.

Finally, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, their website, and social media. However, Rede Globo (broadcast TV), SporTV (subscription channel), ESPN (cable channel), and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Palmeiras game.
