The Flamengo had another player called upfor the October FIFA Date: Gonzalo Plata. The striker was called up to join the Ecuadorian national team for the next 2026 World Cup qualifiers. As a result, Plata will be available for the clashes against Paraguay and Uruguay.
Ecuador's first game will be against Paraguay, next Thursday (10), at 6pm (Brasília time) , in Quito. Afterwards, the Ecuadorian team travels to Montevideo, where they will face Uruguay at the Centenário Stadium, on October 15th, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time).
Plata's return after indiscipline
In March, Gonzalo Plata, together with Arboleda and Kendry Páez, was spotted in a nightclub in New York, in the United States, before the Copa América. Although they claimed to be having a break, the Ecuadorian Federation punished the players, who were seen with drinks, half-naked women and showing money. Since then, Plata and Arboleda have been left out of the squad, while Páez has been pardoned because he is underage.
After Ecuador's poor performance in the Copa América, coach Félix Sánchez Bas was fired and replaced by Beccacece, who debuted against Brazil. Despite the change in the coaching staff, Plata remained out of the squad until now, when he received a new opportunity.
Flamengo squad players
Flamengo can have up to six players called up for October's FIFA Date. In addition to Gonzalo Plata, Gerson was also called up to defend the Brazilian team. Arrascaeta, De La Cruz and Varela are on Uruguay's pre-list, and Erick Pulgar is expected in the Chilean team.
Fla-Flu after FIFA Date
Two days after the end of the FIFA Date, Flamengo faces Fluminense in the Brazilian Championship, on October 17th, at 8pm, at Maracanã. Rubro-Negro, currently with 48 points, is looking for a victory to continue in the title dispute. Fluminense, on the other hand, is fighting to distance itself from the relegation zone, with 30 points.
Semifinal of the Copa do Brasil
Due to the proximity of the games to the FIFA Date, Flamengo requested the CBF to postpone the second match of the Copa do Brasil semifinal against Corinthians. The request was accepted, and the game was rescheduled for October 20th, at 4pm, at Neo Química Arena.

Increasingly established as a Flamengo idol, Giorgian De Arrascaeta is enjoying one of the finest moments of his career. Since donning the iconic No. 10 jersey in December 2024 , the Uruguayan has taken center stage in the Flamengo midfield.
With 18 goals and 13 assists this season, he has already equaled his highest-scoring year since arriving in Rio de Janeiro and could achieve the best performance of his professional career. The midfielder will be one of coach Filipe Luís's main weapons in this Thursday's duel (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã , for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals.
In addition to Arrascaeta's key role, Flamengo will have reinforcements in its squad. Léo Ortiz, Varela, and Bruno Henrique are available to face Estudiantes . Meanwhile, Alex Sandro and Jorginho remain doubtful and will have their fitness assessed shortly before the match.
Eduardo Domínguez's team will be without González Pirez and Edwuin Cetré, both injured. Even so, 27 players were selected for the match in Rio de Janeiro, and the final training session took place at Fluminense's training center in Rio's West Zone . The Argentine team reached the quarterfinals after defeating Cerro Porteño 1-0 on aggregate.
FLAMENGO (Coach: Filipe Luis): Rossi; Varela (Emerson Royal), Leo Ortiz, Leo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas (Viña); Saul, De La Cruz (Jorginho) and Arrascaeta; Plata, Pedro and Samuel Lino.
ESTUDIATES (Coach: Eduardo Domínguez): Muslera; Román Gómez, Santiago Núñez, Facundo Rodríguez and Santiago Arzamendia; Ascacíbar, Gabriel Neves, Amondarain and Medina; Tiago Palacios and Guido Carrillo.
The red-and-black team has the second most valuable squad in the competition, while Argentina has the second cheapest squad among those who qualified.

Estudiantes secured their spot by defeating Cerro Porteño (Pará), winning away from home and drawing in La Plata .
