Flamengo manager Dorival Júnior will miss Wednesday’s Copa Libertadores round of 16 clash with Tolima due to a one-match suspension.
The 60-year-old was sent off during’s Ceará’s Copa Sudamericana game with Independiente last month.
Despite changing clubs since, Conmebol confirmed on Tuesday that Júnior would still have to serve the punishment in Colombia.
As a result, assistant manager Lucas Silvestre will take charge from the technical area at the Estadio Manuel Murillo Toro.
The Rubro-Negro will hope that the absence of their relatively new boss will have little effect as they look to take a positive result back to the Maracanã for the second leg next week.
