Bruno Henrique ruled out of Flamengo’s next match | OneFootball

Bruno Henrique received his 3rd yellow card and is suspended against Botafogo

Flamengo lost 2-1 to Cruzeiro on Saturday night (22). Besides the bitter taste of defeat, Rubro-Negro left the field with more bad news: Bruno Henrique will miss the next match, against Botafogo.

Flamengo’s number 27 started on the bench. However, after coming on in the second half, Bruno Henrique was shown a yellow card for a foul on Fagner. As a result, with his third accumulated booking, the forward will serve an automatic suspension against Botafogo.

What are Flamengo’s options without Bruno Henrique?

At the moment, Leonardo Jardim has been using Bruno Henrique in two positions: center forward or left winger.

For the more central attacking role, Pedro has been Leonardo Jardim’s main choice. It is worth noting that the number 9 has no restrictions for the match and, because of that, should start again.

Meanwhile, on the left wing, Samuel Lino has been Leonardo Jardim’s main option. Like Pedro, the number 16 is also available to play against Botafogo.

What is Flamengo’s situation in the Brasileirão?

With the defeat, Flamengo remained on 45 points, three behind Palmeiras. The São Paulo side will still play this Sunday (23), facing Vasco, and could open up a six-point lead, with one more game played.
