Danilo sent off v Athletico, out for Flamengo v Palmeiras | OneFootball

Flamengo and Palmeiras face off at the Maracanã in the 17th round of the Brasileirão

Danilo is out of Flamengo's match against Palmeiras. That is because the center back received two yellow cards against Athletico-PR in the 16th round. Therefore, the defender will serve his suspension in the 17th round, which takes place at the Maracanã on Saturday (23).

Danilo's first yellow card this Sunday (17) came in the 24th minute of the second half at Arena da Baixada. The second came in stoppage time of the draw between the teams. As a result, the Rubro-Negro finished the match with one player fewer.

Does Flamengo have more absences?

In addition to the suspended center back, Flamengo will also be without Arrascaeta against Palmeiras, as the midfielder is recovering from collarbone surgery. Erick Pulgar and Gonzalo Plata are doubts for the 17th-round clash, as they are being treated for a shoulder injury and a knee knock, respectively.

How did Fla draw with Athletico-PR?

After a defensive mistake by the Rubro-Negro, Mendoza opened the scoring with a cross-shot that beat Rossi in the first half. In the second half, however, Fla equalized thanks to the pace of Bruno Henrique, who set up Pedro to find the net.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

After Athletico, Flamengo host Estudiantes (ARG) at the Maracanã on Wednesday (20). The ball rolls from 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in the fifth round of Group A of the Libertadores.

Therefore, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. The match, however, will be broadcast by Globo (free-to-air), ESPN (pay TV), and Disney+ (streaming).
