Flamengo face Santos this Sunday (05) in the tenth round of the Brasileirão. Kickoff is set for 5:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. For the match, coach Leonardo Jardim will be without three players, while also having four players one booking away from suspension.
Starting with the absences: still going through recovery stages after surgery on his left heel, Saúl Ñíguez will not return to action this Sunday (05). Meanwhile, Alex Sandro is out with a muscle injury. Erick Pulgar, who was sent off against Red Bull Bragantino, will serve an automatic suspension.
Yes! Alex Sandro, Everton Cebolinha and Jorginho are Flamengo’s players at risk of suspension. In other words, if any of them receive another yellow card, they will serve an automatic suspension for the match against Fluminense next Saturday (11), in the 11th round of the Brasileirão.
For today’s match, Flamengo have two question marks. The first is whether Bruno Henrique will be available again after being treated for pubalgia. In addition, coach Leonardo Jardim still has to decide who will replace Erick Pulgar. As a result, De La Cruz and Evertton Araújo are competing for the spot.
The match between Flamengo and Santos is scheduled for 5:30 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (05), in the tenth round of the Brasileirão. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Rede Globo (free-to-air), Premiere (pay-per-view) and GETV (YouTube) will broadcast the match.
