Midfielder Kervin Andrade is already on Brazilian soil after representing Venezuela in the Copa América, held in the United States. After being eliminated in the quarter-finals by Canada, on penalties, last Friday (5), the player traveled with the Fortaleza delegation to Rio de Janeiro, where they will face Flamengo in the 16th round of the Brasileirão.
In addition to Kervin, who will start on the bench, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda is counting on the return of midfielder Hércules, who was suspended in the last match against Fluminense. Hércules should be a starter in the clash on Thursday (11), scheduled for 8pm (Brasília time) at Maracanã.
However, Vojvoda faces problems in the medical department. Left-back Bruno Pacheco felt muscle discomfort during the warm-up against Fluminense and will be re-evaluated to determine his availability. If he is unable to act, Felipe Jonatan, hired in April from Santos, can be selected in the position.

Currently, Fortaleza has five players in the medical department: defender Kuscevic, midfielders Martinez and Zé Welison, midfielder Calebe and striker Pedro Rocha, the latter in the physical transition phase and possibly available for the duel against Flamengo.
Kuscevic, who recently had stomach problems, is also on the list of possible returns for the game in Rio de Janeiro. While Calebe carries out muscle strengthening, Martinez and Zé Welison deal with more serious muscle problems.

Flamengo defeated Argentina's Estudiantes 2-1 at the Maracanã Stadium . The red-and-black team decided the match in the first half with goals from Pedro and Varela. Mengão gave Estudiantes no time to breathe in Rio de Janeiro with a lightning goal.
Just 15 seconds in, Pedro capitalized on a pass from Plata, turned on his marker, and fired a left-footed shot to open the scoring. The quick goal undermined Argentina's strategy and galvanized the Rio de Janeiro team, who continued to press. A few minutes later, Ayrton Lucas crossed from the left and Varela hit a beautiful volley into Muslera's corner, extending the red-and-blacks' lead in the first half.
Even with a two-goal lead, Flamengo maintained control and nearly made it three with Pedro, whose shot was spectacularly saved by the Uruguayan goalkeeper. Estudiantes , for their part, barely threatened Rossi's goal and only managed to partially level the score in the final minutes of the first half . The feeling at Maracanã was that the 2-0 scoreline was a cheap one for the visitors.
In the second half, the pace dropped. Coach Eduardo Domínguez made substitutions, trying to give the Argentine team more momentum, but he ran into the red-and-black defense. The match was not without its tense moments, with cards for Saúl, Samuel Lino, and Alexis Castro, and Plata's sending-off after a second yellow card in a dispute with Facundo Rodríguez . At the end of the second half, Estudiantes scored in the 46th minute to leave the match open in Argentina.
With the 2-1 victory, Flamengo takes the lead in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. The return leg is scheduled for the 25th, at 9:30 pm, at the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, in Argentina. Before that, the team led by Tite faces Vasco next Sunday (21), for the Brazilian Championship, again at Maracanã.
