Flamengo eyes a sixth Copa do Brasil title in 2026

Flamengo takes the field on Wednesday night (22) to face Vitória in the first leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. For the match, coach Leonardo Jardim has three confirmed absences and one possible boost.

At the moment, Flamengo has three players unavailable. That is because Erick Pulgar is being treated for an injury to the acromioclavicular joint in his right shoulder, while Lucas Paquetá is recovering from swelling in the tendon of his left thigh. Finally, Jorge Carrascal is suspended.

Will Flamengo have reinforcements?

On the other hand, Flamengo could get a major boost for the match against Vitória. That is because Jorginho took part in the latest training sessions with the Rubro-Negro squad at Ninho do Urubu.
