Carrascal ruled out of Flamengo v Atlético-MG clash in Copa do Brasil | OneFootball

Flamengo Released Squad List for Match Against Atlético-MG Without Carrascal

Last Saturday (02), Flamengo announced midfielder Jorge Carrascal as the fourth reinforcement of the current transfer window. After signing a four-year contract, the player was registered in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID). However, despite this, the athlete is out of Flamengo's match against Atlético-MG.

In summary, Carrascal only had one official training session with the Flamengo squad. This is because the Rubro-Negro only presented the midfielder at a press conference last Monday (05). After speaking to the press, the athlete participated in the activity with the team.

Furthermore, Flamengo did not register Carrascal in time for the midfielder to participate in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. Currently, the Most Beloved is preparing to play the return match of the tournament against Atlético-MG. Thus, the player will not be available for the team led by Filipe Luís.

How Long is Jorge Carrascal's Contract with Flamengo?

It is important to note that Jorge Carrascal signed with Flamengo for four years, meaning until mid-2029. At the Most Beloved, the midfielder is the new number 15 of the squad and joins to strengthen the group. Finally, the Rubro-Negro spent 12 million euros (around R$ 77.1 million) to sign the player from Dynamo Moscow (RUS).

What's Flamengo's Next Step?

Now, without Carrascal, Flamengo is preparing to face Atlético-MG in the return match of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, on Wednesday (06). The teams will face off starting at 19:00 (Brasília time), with live broadcast on SporTV (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view).

Remember that Flamengo is at a disadvantage in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. This is because, in the first leg, at the Maracanã, the Most Beloved lost to Atlético-MG, 1-0. Therefore, now, the Rubro-Negro needs to beat the Minas Gerais team, at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte, by at least two goals. If they win by one goal, the decision will go to penalties.
