In the midst of the many absences, Flamengo has many possibilities of having his scorer again for the match against Independiente del Valle, for the Libertadores. Recovered from a thigh injury, Gabigol will join the squad this Tuesday and will be evaluated to confirm his presence in the game.
On Monday, the forward performed ball work with physical therapists and increased optimism for being on the pitch on Wednesday.

The forward missed Flamengo in the last two games, against Barcelona de Guayaquil and Palmeiras. Since then, he had been in treatment to be available to the technical committee. He is one of the players in the squad who has already contracted coronavirus.

Thiago Maia doesn’t care
After playing at sacrifice against Palmeiras, due to pain in his thigh, midfielder Thiago Maia does not worry about the next game. He was reevaluated in the cast re-introduction, in Ninho do Urubu, and he’s fine.
On the other hand, right-back João Lucas still feels pain in his left thigh and has doubts about facing Independiente del Valle.
Flamengo is still waiting for the new Covid-19 exams. Seven players who tested positive on September 19 can reinforce the team, if they have a negative result this time: defenders Isla, Matheuzinho and Filipe Luís, midfielder Diego and forwards Michael and Bruno Henrique.
Flamengo and Independiente del Valle will meet on Wednesday, in Maracanã, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasilia time). The game is valid for the fifth day of Group A of the Libertadores.
