Yes! At the moment, Flamengo have seven confirmed absences for the match against Athletico-PR. That is because Erick Pulgar is being treated for an injury to the acromioclavicular joint in his right shoulder, while Arrascaeta is recovering from surgery to repair a fractured collarbone.
Meanwhile, Gonzalo Plata is still recovering from a knee injury and did not travel to Curitiba with the Flamengo squad. De La Cruz, meanwhile, was left out of the matchday squad because of the synthetic pitch at Arena da Baixada. In addition, Fla allowed Luiz Araújo time off to deal with personal matters. Finally, Jorginho and Evertton Araújo are suspended due to yellow card accumulation.
