Right-back Guillermo Varela has not lived a long streak of days. After an incident involving a fight with his teammate Gerson, he was hit in the nose. In addition, during the confrontation against Grêmio on Wednesday (16), Varela suffered a knee ligament injury that now prevents him from a possible departure from the club.
In addition to being under medical care at Flamengo , the injury also affected his prospects of a possible transfer. The player was in negotiations with Independiente, from Argentina, according to journalist Venê Casagrande. However, that deal is now likely to be put on hold as the transfer window in Argentina closes on 31 August, and Varela will be sidelined for at least six weeks. Flamengo informed that Varela's treatment will be conservative, involving physiotherapy. At the age of 30, it is likely that he will only return to the fields at the end of September, which means he could miss approximately six matches of the Brazilian Championship. His participation in the finals of the Copa do Brasil, scheduled for the 17th and 24th of next month, is also in doubt due to the injury.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Tite defined Flamengo and announced the 11 starters who will face Peñarol, this Thursday, at Maracanã, at 7pm. De la Cruz returns to the starting lineup in place of Léo Ortiz, and Alex Sandro and Plata were retained. The duel with the Uruguayans is the first between the teams in the quarter-finals of the Copa Conmebol Libertadores.
Alex Sandro and Plata, debutants in last Sunday's classic, remain in the team after having good performances in the draw against Vasco. Gabigol is now out of the relationship due to fibrosis in the posterior muscle of his right thigh. Flamengo, in a statement, reported that the athlete did not suffer any injury in the region. Check it out:
"The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that the athlete Gabriel Barbosa underwent tests that did not diagnose an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh. However, the Technical Committee opted for precaution and did not list him for the duel against Peñarol due to fibrosis in the region. Gabi is handed over to physiotherapists and physical trainers for the series of decisive games of the season."
