Pulgar would not have featured regardless, having been sent off against Red Bull Bragantino on Thursday (02), which means he must serve an automatic suspension.

Flamengo open their Copa Libertadores campaign on Wednesday (08) away to Cusco (PER), with Pulgar continuing treatment with a view to upcoming fixtures.

The match is scheduled for 17:30 Brasília time at the Maracanã in the 10th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
