Arrascaeta absent as Flamengo name XI for Bragantino away clash | OneFootball

Flamengo return after the FIFA window to face Red Bull Bragantino in Bragança Paulista on Thursday at 21:30 Brasília time in the ninth round of the Brasileirão. Head coach Leonardo Jardim is without Arrascaeta and other regulars.

According to Coluna Do Fla, the starting XI is Rossi, Emerson Royal, Léo Ortiz, Vitão, Ayrton Lucas, Erick Pulgar, Jorginho, Lucas Paquetá, Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino and Pedro. The bench includes Andrew, Dyogo Alves, Daniel Sales, Danilo, De La Cruz, Carrascal, Everton Cebolinha, Plata and Wallace Yan.

Arrascaeta, Léo Pereira and Varela are not available after heavy workloads with their national teams during the FIFA dates. The trio have already returned to Rio de Janeiro this afternoon.

Carrascal, Plata, Danilo and De La Cruz also represented their countries in this period. They have been cleared and are in the squad.

Saúl Ñíguez remains in recovery following surgery on his left heel. Bruno Henrique, although over pubalgia, will not return yet. Alex Sandro is sidelined with a muscle injury, and Evertton Araújo is suspended after a red card against Corinthians in the last round.
