Flamengo and Athletico-PR face off from 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (17)

Short-handed due to injuries and suspensions, coach Leonardo Jardim had to rack his brain to put together Flamengo’s lineup this Sunday (17) for the match against Athletico-PR at Arena da Baixada. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in the 16th round of the Brasileirão.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S LINEUP FOR THE MATCH AGAINST ATHLETICO-PR?

Starters: Agustín Rossi, Guillermo Varela, Danilo, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Léo Ortiz, Saúl, Lucas Paquetá and Jorge Carrascal; Samuel Lino and Pedro

Substitutes: Andrew, Dyogo Alves, Emerson Royal, Vitão, Ayrton Lucas, Luiz Felipe, Everton Cebolinha, Bruno Henrique and Wallace Yan

Leonardo Jardim’s biggest challenge was putting together the team’s midfield. After all, Evertton Araújo and Jorginho picked up their third yellow card in the previous round and are suspended. Meanwhile, De La Cruz does not feel comfortable playing on artificial turf and was left out. Erick Pulgar is still recovering from an injury.

On the other hand, Flamengo welcomes back Lucas Paquetá. The Ninho graduate has not played since April 19, when he suffered swelling in his left thigh. However, the No. 20 is not expected to be fit enough to play for very long, due to the short time he has had to regain match fitness after recovering from the injury.
