Flamengo: Filipe Luís faces midfield dilemma for Brasileirão clash | OneFootball

De La Cruz or Allan? Filipe Luís has doubts in Flamengo’s midfield

Flamengo is in Salvador, where they face Bahia this Sunday (05), for the 27th round of the Brasileirão. For the match, Filipe Luís has doubts about the lineup, especially in the midfield.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S PROBABLE LINEUP?

Rossi; Varela, Danilo, Léo Ortiz and Ayrton Lucas; De la Cruz (Allan), Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Plata (Carrascal), Samuel Lino (Cebolinha) and Pedro.

The midfield is the main doubt for Filipe Luís as he puts together the team. With Saúl out of the match due to pain in his left ankle, the coach is considering alternatives to fill the position. Thus, De La Cruz and Allan emerge as options to start among the starters.

In addition to the problems in midfield, Filipe Luís also has to deal with suspensions. Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro received their third yellow card and will miss the match. As a result, the tendency is for Danilo to take over in defense, while Ayrton Lucas returns to the left-back position.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE ANY OTHER ABSENCES?

In addition to Alex Sandro, Léo Pereira and Saúl, Flamengo still cannot count on Erick Pulgar. That’s because the Chilean midfielder is still undergoing physical reconditioning after recovering from an injury to the fifth metatarsal of his right foot.

WHAT TIME IS BAHIA vs FLAMENGO?

Flamengo visits Bahia at 6:30 pm (Brasília time) this Sunday (05), at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast live on pay-per-view by Premiere.
