Flamengo lose 4 players for final Brasileirão game before World Cup break | OneFootball

Carlo Ancelotti called up four Flamengo players for the World Cup

Coach Leonardo Jardim has been dealt four new absences for the match between Flamengo and Coritiba, scheduled for June 30. They are: Danilo, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro and Lucas Paquetá. That is because the players were called up by Carlo Ancelotti for the World Cup.

Therefore, the Flamengo players will have to report to the Brazilian National Team on May 27, at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis. That is because, on the 31st of the same month, Brazil will face Panama at the Maracanã in a friendly match. As a result, the players will not be available for Flamengo's match.

When do Flamengo and Coritiba face each other?

The match between Flamengo and Coritiba is scheduled for May 30 (Saturday), at 4:00 PM (Brasília time), at the Maracanã, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão. The match, Fla’s last before the World Cup break, could determine whether the Rubro-Negro will go into the FIFA international break at the top of the league table.

Could Flamengo have more players called up for the World Cup?

Flamengo could have even more representatives at the World Cup. After all, Arrascaeta, Varela and De La Cruz are on Uruguay’s preliminary list, Carrascal is available for Colombia, and Gonzalo Plata is expected to be called up by Ecuador.

What is Mengão’s next match?

Before thinking about Coritiba, Flamengo remains focused on its next commitment of 2026. This Wednesday (20), the Rubro-Negro faces Estudiantes (ARG) at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Maracanã, for the fifth round of the Libertadores.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Estudiantes through YouTube, the website and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube) and Paramount+ (streaming) will broadcast the Libertadores match.
