Flamengo has finalized the preparation for the duel with Ceará, on Sunday (03), at Arena Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship. Filipe Luís, however, did not include Luiz Araújo for the Brasileirão clash.
According to Flamengo, Luiz Araújo is out of the squad due to load control. The technical commission's plan is for the forward not to feel the strain of the recent matches and suffer a muscle injury.
Besides Luiz Araújo, Matheus Cunha also did not make the squad. This is because the goalkeeper has patellar tendinitis in his left knee. Therefore, like the right winger, the goalkeeper remained in Rio de Janeiro.
Flamengo, however, has important returns in the squad. This is because, the Most Beloved will be able to count on Arrascaeta and Jorginho against Ceará, players who were absent against Atlético-MG, in the Brazil Cup. In addition, Samuel Lino, Emerson Royal and Saúl are also on the list.
The Flamengo game against Ceará, on Sunday (03), is scheduled for 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão. Therefore, the match, valid for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship will be broadcast on Premiere, on pay-per-view.
