Back in training this Thursday, Flamengo turns off the “Libertadores button” and focuses its attention on the Brazilian Championship. Tite may have something new for the duel against Corinthians, on Saturday, at 4pm, at Maracanã: Arrascaeta has a chance of being involved.
With a tie between Millonários and Bolívar, Fla remains in third
The club’s health and high performance department is working so that the number 14 can at least stay on the bench and gain a few minutes to regain rhythm with an eye on the decisive match with Bolívar, on Wednesday, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) , for the fifth round of Group E of the Libertadores.
Arrasca is in the process of recovering from a minor injury suffered against Botafogo, on the 28th. Someone who was also injured in this same classic and is out of the duel with Corinthians is Erick Pulgar.
The Chilean, who suffered a severe sprain in his left ankle, has a remote chance of even facing Bolívar. Although the possibilities are quite limited, the final diagnosis will be made on the eve of the match.
Arrascaeta and Pulgar were absent in the games against Amazonas (1×0), Bragantino (1×1) and Palestino (1×0).
Varela has an injury that won’t take him out of combat
An examination carried out this Thursday at Ninho do Urubu showed Varela’s muscle injury in the left iliac fossa, located in the abdominal region. The problem is a consequence of a blow taken in the 1-0 victory over Amazonas, on May 1st.
Despite the diagnosis, it is not a serious injury, and Varela is not ruled out for the game with Corinthians. The training will tell whether or not he is capable of regaining the physical condition to regain full ownership.
