The opponent of Flamengo this Wednesday (20) has a reinforcement. That's because Colombian Johan Carbonero has recovered from the injury that kept him out of the first leg and can play for Internacional. The teams face each other at Beira-Rio for the return of the round of 16 of the Libertadores.
The striker, who had a thigh injury at the beginning of the month, is among those called up for the match against Flamengo. Before the injury, however, Carbonero was a starter on Roger Machado's team. The information about the athlete's return is from journalist Leonardo Sonda.
While Carbonero leaves the medical department, athletes Ivan, Bruno Gomes, Lucas Drummond, and Gabriel Mercado remain injured. Already the players Alan Patrick, Thiago Maia, and Wesley, spared on the weekend, should return to the starting lineup.
In the Rubro-Negro, the Chilean midfielder Erick Pulgar is recovering from surgery on his right foot and is the only one in the 'DM'. In addition to the duo, four players were released to reinforce the under-20 team in the Club World Cup final against Barcelona: Matheus Gonçalves, João Victor, Joshua, and Daniel Sales.
Therefore, Flamengo defends, from 9:30 pm (Brasília time), the 1-0 advantage conquered at Maracanã and only needs a draw to secure qualification for the quarterfinals. Thus, the broadcast is from Globo (open channel), ESPN (pay TV) and Disney Plus (streaming). Soon, Coluna do Fla will follow all the moves with complete coverage through the site, social networks, and YouTube channel.
