Estudiantes are working through late selection questions before travelling to Rio de Janeiro for Thursday’s meeting with Flamengo at the Maracanã.
Quick facts
- Flamengo host Estudiantes on Thursday.
- Kick-off is scheduled for 21:30.
- Estudiantes still have decisions to make in defence.
- A change is being considered in the attacking line.
- The club are waiting for the registration clearance of a former Racing defender.
The visitors have not settled on their back line, with several defensive alternatives under consideration ahead of the trip to Brazil.
There is also expected to be movement further forward, where the coaching staff are preparing at least one alteration from the previous attacking setup.
A further issue concerns the availability of the ex-Racing centre-back. His involvement depends on administrative authorisation arriving in time for the Maracanã fixture.
Flamengo and Estudiantes meet on Thursday night, with the contest set to begin at 21:30.
