Absences from Flamengo for the Match against Santos

Tomorrow is match day for Flamengo! But, unfortunately, the team will have to face Santos at 19h30 at Vila Belmiro, with a list of absences that could worry fans.

Who’s out?

Besides some players recovering from injuries, such as Arrascaeta, Ayrton Lucas, and Evertton Araújo, the Rubro-Negro also won’t be able to count on:

• Léo Ortiz: The defender was released by the club to handle personal matters in Rio de Janeiro. It’s very likely that Danilo will come on in his position.

• Varela: The Uruguayan arrived today in Rio de Janeiro after the Data FIFA friendlies. As he was the one who played the most among the call-ups, the coaching staff decided to rest him for the match.

Good News!

On the other hand, the Ecuadorian Valencia will travel with the team. He was a doubt, but he showed up in good condition after playing for his national team last Monday.

The Brazilians Pedro and Samuel Lino, who also played for their selections, arrived before the foreigners and have joined the squad. They returned to training with Flamengo last Tuesday.

Injury Status

Let’s take a look at the condition of the players who are recovering:

• Ayrton Lucas: Still holding strong with the rehabilitation defined by the club’s Medical Department.

• Arrascaeta: The midfielder is still in the recovery process after surgery to correct a fracture in his left wrist.

• Evertton Araújo: He is already doing on-field activities with physical therapy.

• Léo Ortiz: As mentioned, he was cleared from the match to deal with personal matters.

• Varela: He has just arrived in Rio after defending the Uruguayan team at the Data FIFA.

With so many absences, the game promises to be challenging, but who knows—maybe Flamengo will still surprise everyone and secure a win? Let’s keep an eye on it!
