Internacional is already in Rio de Janeiro. The squad from Rio Grande do Sul arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday afternoon (12) with two reinforcements. After following the concussion protocol, midfielder Richard returns to the team. Meanwhile, defender Vitão is back, having been left out of the team's last game in the Brasileirão.
Flamengo will have a significant absence in the first leg of the round of 16: Arrascaeta. In short, the Uruguayan received his third yellow card against Deportivo Táchira (VEN) and, therefore, will serve an automatic suspension this Wednesday (13). Thus, Luiz Araújo, Saúl Ñíguez and Carrascal appear as options. Finally, Erick Pulgar (foot surgery) and Danilo (thigh) also remain out.
The next game of Flamengo against Internacional takes place at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) this Wednesday (13), at Maracanã. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, shows all the behind-the-scenes of the duel, with 'on-site' coverage by Leo José and Simon Lédo, on YouTube. Finally, Rede Globo (open channel), ESPN (cable) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the match.
