5 absentees, 3 at risk: Coritiba hit before Flamengo clash in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Sixth in the Brasileirão, Coritiba visit Flamengo this Saturday (30)

Flamengo and Coritiba kick off the 18th round of the Brasileirão this Saturday (30), at the Maracanã. The Couto Pereira side, led by coach Fernando Seabra, has important absences and also several players one booking away from suspension, meaning they could miss the next match if they are cautioned. Kickoff is at 4:00 PM (Brasília time).

The list of absentees includes: Keno (blow to the right knee), Pedro Morisco (recovering from right shoulder surgery), Maicon (muscle injury in the left thigh), Rodrigo Rodrigues (recovering from knee surgery) and Tinga (calf injury). Among them, Keno, formerly of Fluminense, and Morisco, the goalkeeper who was targeted by Flamengo at the start of the year, stand out.

SO, WHO IS ONE BOOKING AWAY?

Three players will step onto the Maracanã needing to be extra careful: Jacy, Josué and Vini Paulista. The trio is one booking away from suspension with two yellow cards, as is coach Fernando Seabra. If any of them are cautioned, they will miss the clash with Palmeiras, when the Brasileirão resumes after the World Cup at the end of July.

WHAT ABOUT FLAMENGO’S ABSENTEES AND PLAYERS ONE BOOKING AWAY, THEN?

If Coritiba have a long list of absentees, Flamengo’s is even longer. After all, there are nine players called up for the World Cup and one injured player. Here is the list: Danilo, Alex Sandro, Léo Pereira, Lucas Paquetá, Arrascaeta, Varela, De La Cruz, Plata, Carrascal and Jorginho (with a fractured toe).

Meanwhile, Flamengo have five players one booking away from suspension: Bruno Henrique, Samuel Lino and Everton Cebolinha each have two yellow cards. If they are booked, they will miss the match against Chapecoense when the Brasileirão resumes. Lucas Paquetá and De La Cruz are also in the same situation, but they will not face Coritiba.

IN SHORT, WHERE CAN YOU WATCH FLAMENGO VS CORITIBA?

With absentees and players one booking away on both sides, Flamengo and Coritiba meet from 4:00 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. SporTV and Premiere, on cable TV and pay-per-view, will broadcast the match. But the best coverage will be from Coluna do Fla.
