Flamengo faces Atlético-MG this Tuesday (25) with an alternative team eyeing the Libertadores final. However, one absence that can be noted is that of striker Gonzalo Plata, who is suspended from the big continental decision, having been sent off in the semi against Racing.
As he will not play in the final, he was expected to start against Atlético-MG, but he starts on the bench. What’s the reason? Does he have an injury? THE Sporting News show.
