Flamengo will take the field with changes against Vitória

The road toward a sixth Copa do Brasil title is about to begin for Flamengo! This Wednesday (22), Mengão faces Vitória in the first leg of the competition’s fifth round at the Maracanã. For the match, which kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), coach Leonardo Jardim will send out a heavily changed lineup.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S LINEUP?

Starters: Rossi, Emerson Royal, Danilo, Léo Ortiz and Ayrton Lucas; Evertton Araújo, De La Cruz and Luiz Araújo; Everton Cebolinha, Bruno Henrique and Pedro.

Substitutes: Andrew, Dyogo Alves, Varela, Vitão, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Jorginho, Saúl, Arrascaeta, Samuel Lino, Plata and Wallace Yan.

One name who was likely to start in Flamengo’s alternative Copa do Brasil lineup was Jorge Carrascal, but the midfielder is out of the match after being punished by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD). Besides the Colombian, Flamengo is also still without Erick Pulgar, who is in the transition process after a shoulder problem, and Lucas Paquetá, who has thigh edema.

On the other hand, Flamengo welcomes back Jorginho. The midfielder, who has not taken the field since April 5, is in the squad and available to coach Leonardo Jardim. Another player who will also get minutes against Vitória is Saúl, who returned to action last weekend after four months out.
