Flamengo faces uncertainty regarding the availability of key players as they prepare for their upcoming match against Estudiantes. According to reports from El-Balad, a training session at the Ninho do Urubu facility on match day will determine the fitness of two crucial squad members, Plata and Erick Pulgar.
Player Fitness Updates for Flamengo
Plata has not featured in recent games due to a left knee impact sustained during a match against Grêmio. Fortunately, medical evaluations show no significant injury, but his participation remains in doubt.
In contrast, Pulgar’s situation is more critical. He has been sidelined since April 2, when he suffered a shoulder injury in a match against Red Bull Bragantino. However, he has completed his recovery and returned to training, raising hopes for his appearance.
Additional Player Notes
Aside from Plata and Pulgar, Lucas Paquetá’s condition will also be monitored closely. He recently suffered a serious tackle to his leg during a match against Athletico-PR but is still in contention for the game.
Meanwhile, De La Cruz is set to return after missing time due to the artificial surface at Arena da Baixada.
