How did Cebolinha get injured?

Everton Cebolinha came on in Flamengo’s match against Botafogo on Wednesday (15) in the second half. However, he felt pain in his left thigh and was substituted after 19 minutes on the pitch.

The pain started after being stepped on by Santi Rodríguez from Botafogo. Before being substituted, however, Cebolinha was involved in Flamengo’s second goal, which ended with a shot by Luiz Araújo.

What about the others?

Midfielder Saúl Ñíguez is recovering from inflammation in his left ankle, which he suffered even before the FIFA break. Allan suffers from chronic pain in the soles of his feet and therefore rarely plays on synthetic turf, as is the case at Nilton Santos Stadium.

Just like Allan, De La Cruz was also preserved from playing on Botafogo’s synthetic turf. Both midfielders are expected to be available for the match against Palmeiras, which will take place at Maracanã, where the pitch is natural grass.

What time is Flamengo vs Palmeiras?

Without Everton Cebolinha, Flamengo faces Palmeiras this Sunday (19) starting at 4pm (Brasília time). The match between the runner-up and the leader has a final-like atmosphere in the 29th round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast Flamengo vs Palmeiras.
