Flamengo and Ceará face off this Wednesday (03), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 37th round of the Brasileirão. Trying to escape the relegation zone, the team from Ceará has three important absences for the match.
This is because coach Léo Condé will not be able to count on defender William Machado and full-back Matheus Bahia, who are suspended for the match against Flamengo. In addition, forward Pedro Henrique is also out for Ceará, as he is recovering from a muscle injury in his left thigh.
On the other hand, so far, Flamengo has one confirmed absence for this Wednesday's (03) match: Pedro. The number 9 of Mengão is still recovering from a muscle injury in his thigh and is preparing to return to the field at the Club World Cup.
Moreover, coach Filipe Luís hopes to have Léo Ortiz back. The defender was recovering from a right ankle strain and was even on the bench in the final of the Libertadores between Flamengo and Palmeiras, last Saturday (29), which earned Rubro-Negro their fourth title.
Flamengo, at this moment, remains at the top of the Brasileirão, with 75 points. On the other hand, Ceará is in 14th place in the table, with 43 points, and continues to fight to escape the relegation zone.
The match between Flamengo and Ceará takes place this Wednesday (03), in a game valid for the 37th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The ball will roll at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. If they win, Filipe Luís' team secures their ninth national championship.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air channel), GE TV (YouTube) and SporTV (cable channel) will broadcast the Flamengo vs Ceará match.
