Filipe Luís hints at Flamengo XI for Carioca semi v Madureira | OneFootball

Flamengo has two confirmed absences for the match against Madureira this Sunday (22)

Flamengo takes the field this Sunday (22) for an important match in the Campeonato Carioca. To face Madureira in the first leg of the state tournament's semifinal, coach Filipe Luís is dealing with two confirmed absences.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S PROBABLE LINEUP?

Andrew; Royal, Danilo, Vitão, and Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar (Evertton Araújo), Paquetá, Carrascal; Plata, Lino, and Pedro (Bruno Henrique).

Filipe Luís is expected to maintain the mixed formation, repeating the strategy adopted in the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Carioca against Botafogo. This approach gained even more traction after the setback in the first leg of the Recopa Sul-Americana, a result that increased the need to manage the squad without losing competitiveness.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE ABSENCES AND DOUBTS?

Firstly, Jorginho is still recovering from an injury to the back of his left thigh, suffered earlier this month. Therefore, the midfielder is racing against time to be available for the return match of the Recopa Sul-Americana but remains unfit to play this Sunday (22).

Additionally, Saúl Ñíguez remains out while recovering from surgery on his left ankle. On the other hand, Wallace Yan might strengthen Flamengo, as after missing the last match due to muscle pain, the forward has a chance to be an option for Filipe Luís in the clash against Madureira.

WHAT TIME IS FLAMENGO VS MADUREIRA?

Flamengo faces Madureira at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (22) at Maracanã, in the first leg of the Campeonato Carioca semifinal. Globo (open TV), SporTV (cable channel), Premiere (pay-per-view), and GETV (YouTube) will broadcast the match.

Meanwhile, Coluna do Fla will provide complete real-time coverage, with minute-by-minute updates on the website, social media updates, and on YouTube. Additionally, the reporting team will be at Maracanã to closely follow and bring all the details of the match.
