Luiz Araújo speaks out after missing Flamengo match | OneFootball

Luiz Araújo is expected to return to Flamengo's squad for the game against Mirassol

On last Wednesday (06), Flamengo faced Atlético-MG and was eliminated from the Copa do Brasil, even with a 1-0 victory. Luiz Araújo did not participate in the match after being rested by the medical department of the red-black team. On social media, the athlete posted a photo of him training and a biblical message.

"God in control", wrote Luiz Araújo on Instagram. In addition, the Flamengo forward shared an image with four photos during Thursday's (07) training. Thus, the post of the number 7 generated repercussion on social media.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT?

Luiz Araújo is a starter for Flamengo under the command of coach Filipe Luís. However, due to the high load of games, the technical committee spared the athlete from the duel against Atlético-MG to avoid the risk of injury. The number 7 did not receive authorization from the medical department.

Therefore, Flamengo used Gonzalo Plata, Everton Cebolinha and Pedro in the match against Atlético-MG, in Belo Horizonte, last Wednesday (06). Finally, there is an expectation that Luiz Araújo will return to the red-black squad on Saturday (09), against Mirassol.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Flamengo is preparing to play again for the Brazilian Championship, against Mirassol, on Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time). Thus, the Coluna do Fla brings all the information of the confrontation at Maracanã, before and after the match.
