Flamengo faces LDU, from Ecuador, this Tuesday (22), in the third round of the group stage of the Libertadores. The match will be played at the altitude of Quito, an extra challenge for the team led by Filipe Luís. The new addition to the delegation is the presence of defender Cleiton, who is back in the squad after more than a month away from the Mais Querido's matches.
DEFENDER HAS NOT BEEN ON THE LIST SINCE MARCH
The last time Cleiton appeared as an option on the bench was in the classic against Fluminense, on March 16, in the final of the Campeonato Carioca. Since then, he had not been included in Mengão's list of players, even though he was in good physical condition and training normally with the main squad.
DECISION WAS TECHNICAL, NOT MEDICAL
The defender's absence from the last call-ups was not related to injury or physical problems. The decision was exclusively technical, according to Filipe Luís's planning, who has been making specific adjustments to the red-black defense. Now, Cleiton has a new opportunity and could be an important alternative for the duel on Ecuadorian soil.
While the coach is pleased with the return of the defender, he will also have to deal with some absences. Left-back Alex Sandro is out of the match after feeling pain in his thigh during the match against Juventude in the Brasileirão. The player is still undergoing treatment in the Medical Department. In addition to Alex Sandro, midfielders Allan and De La Cruz are also confirmed absentees.
With these losses, Filipe Luís had to reorganize the team. The squad he brought in includes young players from the youth academy, as well as reserves who have been gaining minutes throughout the season. The expectation is for a physical and strategic game against LDU, which usually uses the altitude as an ally in its home games.
