The plane that took the four Flamengo players to Ecuador, for the duel against Barcelona de Guayaquil, for the Libertadores, had to return to Brazil after a problem in the flight plan. The aircraft was unable to enter Peruvian airspace and landed in Manaus, where young people await the new steps to make the trip.
Coach Domènec Torrent’s team enters the field tonight (22), at 7.15pm, for the fourth day of the Libertadores group stage. Right-back João Lucas, defender Natan and forwards Guilherme Bala and Rodrigo Muniz were summoned to the game after a contagious outbreak of Covid-19 in the squad.
The information about the mishap of the flight was published for the first time by “Paparazzo Rubro-Negro” and confirmed by sports.
After the delegation problem, Flamengo presented a plan for the arrival of names that were in Rio de Janeiro so that they could be at Domènec’s disposal. The document had been approved. Now, the board is working to fly over Peru and waits until 9 am local time, 11 am Brasilia.
In addition to the seven players infected by the new coronavirus -Isla, Matheuzinho, Filipe Luís, Diego, Bruno Henrique, Vitinho and Michael-, Gabigol should also be absent, with a discomfort in the thigh. Diego Alves, who is recovering from Covid-19, and forward Pedro Rocha, with a left thigh injury, did not even accompany the group.
Rubro-Negro is looking to recover after the 5-0 loss suffered by Independiente del Valle, also from Ecuador, last Thursday. With six points, Gávea’s team occupies second place in Group A, only behind Del Valle, who has nine.
