Anyone who saw the swelling in Leonardo Moura's right ankle after the match against Universidad de Chile would never have imagined that the number 2 would be back in Flamengo's starting lineup so quickly. This Monday (22.03), the full-back worked hard, didn't feel any discomfort and should be available to coach Andrade for the match against Tigres next Wednesday (24.03), at Engenhão, at 19:30 pm.
Leo himself believed he wouldn't play again until the weekend against América. However, his recovery was quicker than expected. On Tuesday (March 23.03), he'll return to ball training and, if all goes well, he'll be training with the group.
"Thank God, I did all the activities Daniel (Jouvin, fitness coach) asked me to do and I didn't feel a thing. I did well, I worked hard, and tomorrow (Tuesday), I'll train with the ball again. Then I'll see how I do. I believe I'll be available for Wednesday's game," he said.
The player took the opportunity to praise the performance of Everton Silva, his replacement in last Sunday's classic against Botafogo.
"Everton did well and he's a player who has the trust of the entire group. I know that whenever I can't play, he'll do well. He got the job done and will do so when needed," he added.
