Filipe Luís has four selection doubts for Flamengo v São Paulo | OneFootball

Flamengo tries to reclaim the lead in the Brazilian Championship

Flamengo continues its preparation to face São Paulo this Wednesday (05), in the 32nd round of the Brasileirão. As the runner-up in the championship, the Rubro-Negro aims to add three more points to the table. With this in mind, coach Filipe Luís has four uncertainties in the lineup of Mengão.

One of Filipe Luís's uncertainties is the right-back position, with Varela and Emerson Royal as options. Additionally, the coach is undecided whether to field De La Cruz or Saúl to pair with Pulgar. Lastly, the attack also causes 'headaches' for the Flamengo coach.
