Flamengo have only one confirmed absentee for Lanús Recopa decider at Maracanã | OneFootball

Flamengo host Lanús at the Maracanã in the Recopa Sudamericana second leg, with only one confirmed absentee.

According to Coluna Do Fla, Spanish midfielder Saúl Ñíguez remains sidelined as he recovers from surgery on his left ankle.

Coach Filipe Luís otherwise has a near full squad, with Plata back after serving a suspension in the first leg.

The medical staff have cleared Jorginho, Bruno Henrique and Wallace Yan to return, giving the coach extra options for the decider.

Flamengo struggled in Argentina in the opener and lost 1-0 after a below-par attacking display.

To lift the trophy in normal time they must win by two or more goals, while a one-goal victory sends it to penalties. They will need a more efficient and aggressive performance to overturn the deficit.

Kick-off is 21:30 Brasília time on Thursday 26 at the Maracanã, in a tie between last season's Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana winners.
