Filipe Luís sets Flamengo line-up for Bahia clash in Saturday training | OneFootball

Flamengo has doubts about the lineup

Filipe Luís has some doubts when setting up the Flamengo lineup with an eye on the match against Bahia in Salvador. For the 27th round of the Brasileirão, the coach will lead the final training session on the morning of this Saturday (04).

The activity at Ninho do Urubu takes place at 9:30 a.m. (Brasília time). Thus, Filipe Luís will decide the Flamengo lineup on the eve of the match. For this, the coach needs to find replacements for the suspended players Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro.

Danilo and Ayrton Lucas are expected to take the spots in the defensive line, alongside Léo Ortiz and Varela. However, the rubro-negro coach may still rest some players due to the marathon of high-pressure matches.

WHAT ARE THE DOUBTS IN FLAMENGO'S LINEUP?

It’s worth remembering that Filipe Luís has only this Saturday’s (04) training session to use the full squad. That’s because, in Friday’s (03) session, the starters from the match against Cruzeiro did recovery work.

POSSIBLE FLAMENGO LINEUP

Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Danilo and Ayrton Lucas; Saúl (De La Cruz), Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Plata (Carrascal), Samuel Lino (Everton Cebolinha) and Pedro (Bruno Henrique).

After the morning training session to define the Flamengo lineup, the squad will have lunch at Ninho do Urubu and, afterwards, travel to Salvador. Therefore, the rubro-negro delegation will arrive in the Bahian capital at the end of the afternoon.

The Bahia vs Flamengo match for the 27th round of the Brasileirão will take place at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (05), at Fonte Nova. Thus, with 55 points, Mengo needs a win over the sixth-placed team, which has 40 points, to stay at the top of the table.
