Bruno Henrique in frame as Jardim restores starters for decisive Cruzeiro tie | OneFootball

According to Globo.com, Flamengo head coach Leonardo Jardim will restore several starters for a decisive Libertadores last 16 meeting with Cruzeiro after resting players in the last league round. The main doubt is up front.

Bruno Henrique trained in recent days after a heavy knock in a challenge with Matheus Henrique in the first game and is available. He still has some pain and could be named in the squad. With limited sessions with the group, Jardim will decide if he starts, so Pedro is ahead.

The likely line-up is Rossi, Emerson Royal, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas, Pulgar, Jorginho, Arrascaeta, Plata, Lino and Pedro, with Bruno Henrique an option.

Everton Cebolinha may also make the squad. He had a flu-like illness and missed group training last week, but has now returned.

Alex Sandro, Vitão and De la Cruz have not trained and are out. Alex Sandro is recovering from pain in his right calf due to tendonitis. Vitão has a left thigh muscle injury and needs a few more weeks, while De la Cruz is treating a left thigh muscle issue.
