Flamengo have six players called up for this FIFA break | OneFootball

With the arrival of the FIFA break, Flamengo had six players called up by national teams. Four teams summoned Flamengo athletes for the last two rounds of the South American Qualifiers for the World Cup.

Uruguay

Leading the list of national teams that called up the most Flamengo players, Uruguay selected three Flamengo athletes. Full-backs Viña and Varela and midfielder De Arrascaeta will be part of Marcelo Bielsa’s squad.

Uruguay hosts Ecuador this Thursday at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estadio Centenario, and needs just a draw to secure its spot in the World Cup.

Brazil

Already qualified for the World Cup, coach Carlo Ancelotti decided to rotate the squad and gave opportunities to some players. One of them was the Flamengo forward, Samuel Lino.

The recently signed forward will have two chances with the Seleção: this Thursday at 9:30 p.m. against Chile at Maracanã; and next Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. against Bolivia in El Alto.

Ecuador

Another already qualified team will count on a Flamengo player. Ecuador called up right winger Gonzalo Plata.

A starter for Ecuador, Plata is expected to play against Paraguay, away from home, this Thursday at 8:30 p.m., and against leaders Argentina, at home, next Tuesday at 8 p.m.

Colombia

Fighting for a spot in the next World Cup, Colombia also called up a Flamengo player. Midfielder Carrascal, who is not an undisputed starter at Flamengo, hopes to help his country reach the World Cup.

For that, a draw is enough for Colombia. This Thursday at 8:30 p.m., the team hosts modest Bolivia at Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez.
