Filipe Luís selects Bruno Henrique as striker for Flamengo v Fortaleza | OneFootball

Why Did Filipe Luís Choose Bruno Henrique as Flamengo's Center Forward?

Bruno Henrique revealed that he spoke with Filipe Luís about his desire to play more on the wings rather than as a center forward. Despite this, the coach positioned the player as the 'number 9' against Fortaleza this Saturday (25).

It is important to note that Filipe Luís does not have Pedro on Flamengo's squad list. This is because the forward suffered a fractured arm and will be sidelined indefinitely.

Juninho, on the other hand, was included in Flamengo's squad list. However, the player has not been given opportunities among the starters, and the coach preferred to reuse Bruno Henrique as a center forward.

What is Flamengo's Lineup?

With some changes compared to recent matches, Filipe Luís has lined up Flamengo with the best available players. Thus, the coach will field the following team against Fortaleza.

Rossi, Royal, Danilo, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Jorginho, Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Lino and Bruno Henrique.

What Time Does the Flamengo vs. Fortaleza Match Start?

The match will take place at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday (25), at Arena Castelão, in a game valid for the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship. If they win the match, the Most Beloved will sleep at the top of the Brasileirão.
