The journey of Mengão towards their ninth Brasileirão title continues. This Wednesday (15th), Flamengo faces Botafogo at Maracanã for the 28th round. For the derby, coach Filipe Luís has already decided on the starting lineup.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S LINEUP AGAINST BOTAFOGO?

Rossi; Emerson Royal, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Evertton Araújo, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Pedro and Samuel Lino.

WHO ARE FLAMENGO'S ABSENCES?

Flamengo will have five absences for the derby against Botafogo. Danilo and Wallace Yan are out because they received red cards in the last round against Bahia and are serving automatic suspensions.

The team will also be without Allan, who is undergoing treatment for pain in his left foot. In addition, Saúl, who is still recovering from pain in his left heel, is not fit to play.

Finally, De La Cruz is out. The coaching staff decided to rest the midfielder due to a chronic knee problem, which could worsen with the impact of the synthetic turf at Estádio Nilton Santos.

WHO IS BACK?

On the other hand, Filipe Luís will have the returns of Alex Sandro and Léo Pereira. Both missed the last match due to automatic suspension after accumulating yellow cards, but return to the starting lineup this Wednesday (15th).
