Flamengo and Palmeiras are playing an ‘early final’ of the Brasileirão this Sunday (19), at Maracanã. For the match, coach Abel Ferreira has gained a ‘national team reinforcement’ in the defensive system. It’s Gustavo Gómez.
Defender Gustavo Gómez reported back to Palmeiras on Thursday (16) after playing for the Paraguayan National Team during the last FIFA break. Thus, as long as he does not show any signs of injury or physical fatigue, the player will return to the starting lineup for the match against Flamengo.
Yes! In addition to Gustavo Gómez’s return, Palmeiras may also have Khellven available. The right-back had been sidelined due to a foot injury. However, the player has made progress in his recovery and has been training normally with his teammates. The decision to include him in the squad for the match is up to Abel Ferreira.
Coach Abel Ferreira may have an important absence in the ‘final’ against Flamengo. That’s because goalkeeper Weverton injured his hand and, as a result, risks missing the match.
Filipe Luís has most of his players available. However, Cebolinha will be out, as he suffered a hip injury against Botafogo. Finally, Saúl Ñíguez is still a doubt due to pain in his left ankle.
The match between Flamengo and Palmeiras takes place at 4pm (Brasília time) this Sunday (19), at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will show all the details on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media. Rede Globo (free-to-air), GETV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will also broadcast the game.
