The Peñarol team arrived in Rio de Janeiro in the early hours of Wednesday (18) for the game against Flamengo in the Libertadores. Before the clash at Maracanã, defender Guzmán Rodríguez sent a message to Mais Querido and highlighted the strength of the Uruguayans.
“We are doing quite well collectively and individually”, said defender Guzmán Rodríguez, to be asked about Peñarol's moment in the season.
It is worth mentioning that Peñarol had a setback upon arrival in Rio de Janeiro. This is because the Uruguayan flight was scheduled to arrive at 7pm this past Tuesday (17). However, with delay, the players disembarked at the end of the day.
“The plan was to arrive two days early precisely for this reason, to have time to rest”, said Ignacio Ruglio, president of the Montevideo team.< /p>

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."
