Flamengo plan to ask for Coritiba match postponement before World Cup

Flamengo plan to ask the CBF to postpone their Brasileirão match against Coritiba, scheduled for 30 May at the Maracanã, due to players departing for the World Cup.

According to Coluna Do Fla, the club could be without up to nine players, with those selected required to report to their national teams between 26 and 28 May.

At present only Léo Pereira, Danilo, Alex Sandro and Lucas Paquetá are confirmed for the World Cup, although other Flamengo players are also likely to be involved with their national sides.

The Coritiba fixture is the club’s final outing before the World Cup.

Flamengo face Estudiantes on Wednesday 20 May from 21:30 Brasília time at the Maracanã in the fifth round of the Libertadores group stage. The match will be broadcast on Rede Globo and on GETV via YouTube.
