Flamengo is preparing for another challenge in the season and, this Monday (25), at 9pm (Brasília time), will face Vitória at Maracanã, in the 21st round of the Brasileirão. For the upcoming commitment, coach Filipe Luís has chosen to leave four players out of the related list.
By technical decision, left-back Ayrton Lucas, midfielder Victor Hugo, and forwards Juninho and Michael were left out of the call-ups for the match. However, the absence of the quartet in this game does not mean they are ruled out of the next commitments.
Additionally, it is essential to remember: there is a maximum number of players who can be on the bench for each game. And, according to an investigation by the Coluna do Fla reporting team, at the moment, Flamengo considers the squad to be 'full'. In other words, until this is resolved, cuts like this will continue to happen.
For the duel against Vitória, coach Filipe Luís will have only one confirmed absence. The midfielder Erick Pulgar, who underwent surgery on the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, remains out. Thus, the expectation is that the number 5 will return to the fields only at the end of next month.
The ball rolls for Flamengo and Vitória at 9pm (Brasília time) this Monday (25), at Maracanã. Premiere (pay-per-view) and SporTV (closed channel) will broadcast the match.
