Flamengo: Filipe Luís to start Viña, Allan, Plata v Atlético-MG | OneFootball

Flamengo will have Gonzalo Plata and Allan back for this Sunday's game (27)

Flamengo takes the field this Sunday (27) to face Atlético-MG at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 17th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Thus, coach Filipe Luís is making the final adjustments for the clash and is expected to line up the team with some new faces, such as Matías Viña, Allan, and Gonzalo Plata.

SEE FLAMENGO'S PROBABLE LINEUP:

Agustín Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Matías Viña; Allan, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Bruno Henrique and Gonzalo Plata (Pedro).

The tendency is that Matías Viña, who had been regaining fitness after a long period recovering from injury, will start for the first time since his return. Therefore, the Uruguayan should take the spot at left-back due to the absence of Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas, who are both in the medical department.

Gonzalo Plata did not play in Flamengo's last match due to tendinitis in his right thigh. On the other hand, midfielder Allan managed his workload because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot and was not even listed for the match against Red Bull Bragantino.

AND WHAT ABOUT FLAMENGO'S ABSENCES?

Coach Filipe Luís will not be able to count on six players for the match against Atlético-MG. That's because Pulgar, Alex Sandro, Ayrton Lucas, Michael, and Danilo remain in the medical department, while De La Cruz was granted leave to spend the weekend with his family in Uruguay. The player was given time off after a controversy during the week involving the former head of the medical department, José Luiz Runco, who was dismissed shortly thereafter.

WHEN IS THE GAME?

Thus, Flamengo faces Atlético-MG on Sunday (27), at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the Campeonato Brasileiro. In this way, Coluna do Fla brings all the information before and after the match held in Rio de Janeiro.
