Filipe Luís hints at Flamengo XI: key defence and Arrascaeta start | OneFootball

Today's Brasileirão Match is Crucial for Flamengo in the Title Race

Flamengo takes the field this Tuesday (25th), facing Atlético-MG in the 36th round of the Brasileirão. For the match at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte, Filipe Luís has outlined the red-and-black lineup with the presence of some starters, such as Arrascaeta.

What is Flamengo's probable lineup?

Rossi; Royal, Danilo, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, Evertton Araújo (Jorginho) and Arrascaeta (Carrascal); Luiz Araújo, Plata and Samuel Lino (Everton Cebolinha)

Will Filipe Luís rest some players?

Because of the Libertadores final against Palmeiras on Saturday (29th), coach Filipe Luís may make some changes to the team. Bruno Henrique, for example, is not expected to start against Atlético-MG.

However, the main defense among the available options and Arrascaeta should start the game against Atlético-MG. After all, the match is also important for Flamengo in the fight for the Brasileirão title.

Who are Flamengo's absences?

In summary, to face Atlético-MG, Filipe Luís has three confirmed absences. They are: Pedro (fracture in the forearm and muscle injury in the thigh), Léo Ortiz (ankle injury) and Allan (plantar fasciitis).

And the suspended players?

In addition to the absences, Flamengo is on alert for seven players who are one yellow card away from suspension. They are: Luiz Araújo, Léo Pereira, Rossi, Danilo, Ayrton Lucas, Evertton Araújo and Jorginho.

If these players receive a third yellow card against Atlético-MG, they will miss Flamengo's 37th round match of the Brasileirão against Ceará, next Wednesday (3rd), at Maracanã.

What could happen today?

In short, Flamengo could secure the Brasileirão title this Tuesday (25th). However, for that to happen, the Most Beloved needs to beat Atlético-MG, and also root for a Palmeiras defeat against Grêmio in Rio Grande do Sul.

Currently, it's worth noting, Flamengo leads the Brasileirão comfortably, with 74 points. With that, the Red-and-Black is four points ahead of Palmeiras, who currently have 70 and are in second place on the table.
