Flamengo speeds up the boarding and waits for four players after covid-19 outbreak

After a Covid-19 outbreak broke out in Flamengo and infected six players, the club managed to act quickly and approached defender Natan, right-back João Lucas and forwards Guilherme Bala and Rodrigo Muniz, who traveled to join the group in Guyaquil (EQU). The information was initially disclosed by “Globoesporte”.

The quartet is in Goiânia (GO) and awaits the launch of the flight to Ecuador. All were tested before the trip. Without many pieces, Domènec will have 20 athletes at his disposal. That is if Vitinho, with a viral disease, and Gabigol, with pain in his thigh, do not recover in time. Expelled against Del Valle, Gustavo Henrique is out of tomorrow’s game (22) against Barcelona at 7.15 pm at the Monumental.

Not even the most pessimistic of the rojinegros could imagine how dramatic Flamengo’s passage through Ecuador would be, where the matches against Independiente del Valle and Barcelona would be. In the first game, a 5-0 victory and a backstage hurricane. Threatened, Domènec Torrent took office, but the debate about the future remains hot: the climate of divergence is so great that a resignation of the Spaniard by a political group has even appeared.

The day after Marcos Braz tried to calm down, an even more violent blow. After conducting tests in Ecuador, the club’s medical department diagnosed six players with covid-19. The club fears that even more people have been infected.

Since the diagnosis was made, the infected red and black have been isolated in the hotel where they are staying and are accompanied by the club’s doctors. The club said they were all asymptomatic, despite Diego posting a video on his YouTube channel saying he had mild pain in his body and throat.

Yesterday (20), the cast still had to overcome another setback. The training was canceled due to the activity of the Sangay volcano and the group missed a day of work. The expectation is that today there are conditions.
