Flamengo and Corinthians face each other this Saturday (11), at Maracanã, in the sixth round of the Brasileirão. However, it appears that the São Paulo team will not have the full squad. That's because striker Yuri Alberto said he wasn't 100% ready to face Mais Querido, as he left the field last Tuesday (7) feeling pain.


“If it weren't for this guy (António Oliveira, coach from Corinthians), would be at CT. I'm having difficulty with my knee, I'm still not 100%, but improving. Every day he went to the DM and asked when I would be back, he made fun of me like hell”, he said, before continuing:


“Today, I was able to make a good return and I have four days to recover even more for Saturday. It was an injury that was limiting me. Very happy to come back and run like a horse, brake like a horse. This guy is very special to me”, pondered the player.


RACE AGAINST TIME

Yuri Alberto returned to the field after spending a few weeks recovering from an injury. However, the player played in pain, but managed to score a goal. Now, the player is trying to prepare to face Flamengo.


MISSENSES IN FLAMENGO

In addition to Corinthians, Flamengo will also not have the full squad. This is because Erick Pulgar continues to deal with an injury and should only return next Wednesday (15). Arrascaeta will be re-evaluated this Friday (10) to see if he can face the team from São Paulo.

FOCUS ON THE NEXT GAME

Fla and Corinthians face each other with just one objective in mind: victory. This is because both teams find themselves in a delicate situation in the Brasileirão. Thus, at 4pm this Saturday (11th) the teams enter the field for the sixth round of the competition.

Estudiantes' Verón on Flamengo in the Libertadores: "Yes, the challenge is difficult"

"Obviously, we know the power of our opponent, but we also know that we've been through similar situations against important teams, and that the club, given its history, has risen to the occasion. We've always kept this in mind: yes, the challenge is difficult, but we can excel and represent the club well , regardless of the result. We've experienced this before, and we continue to do so," the director stated.


VERON X FLAMENGO

In the early 1990s, Verón began his career at Estudiantes and played in the 2-0 victory over Flamengo in the 1994 Supercopa Libertadores . In addition to his former club, the former midfielder also shone for major teams such as Boca Juniors, Lazio, Manchester United and Inter Milan .
