Flamengo have 1 absentee and 4 doubts for Mirassol clash in Brasileirão | OneFootball

The ball rolls for Mirassol vs Flamengo at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (16)

Flamengo is counting down to another Brasileirão match. This Sunday (16), the Rubro-Negro visits Mirassol at Estádio Maião for the 23rd round of the national competition. For the match, coach Leonardo Jardim has one confirmed absence and will still determine the situation of four players.

The only confirmed absence so far is center back Vitão. The defender is recovering from a muscle injury in his left thigh, suffered during a Flamengo training session in early August.

WHAT ABOUT THE DOUBTS?

In all, Flamengo is on alert over the situation of four players who may not be available against Mirassol: Luiz Araújo, Bruno Henrique, Alex Sandro, and Everton Cebolinha.

Luiz Araújo has recovered from an injury to the medial collateral ligament in his left knee, suffered on July 19 after a challenge in a friendly against Olimpia (PAR). As a result, the forward is no longer in the medical department and has begun the transition process back onto the pitch. However, he is still working to regain ideal fitness.

Meanwhile, Bruno Henrique suffered a hard challenge in the match against Cruzeiro last Wednesday (12) and has since been reporting intense pain. Therefore, the forward’s re-evaluation was scheduled for this Friday (14), after the squad returned for training at 10 a.m. (Brasília time).

This is because the medical department set as a priority respecting the 48-hour period to closely monitor how the issue develops. The initial assessment indicates that the player suffered ankle trauma. In short, the chances of the No. 27 being absent against Mirassol are high.

WHAT ABOUT ALEX SANDRO AND EVERTON CEBOLINHA?

Due to tendinitis in his right calf, Alex Sandro has already missed Flamengo’s last two matches, against Cruzeiro and Vitória. Therefore, the left back remains a doubt for the Rio club’s upcoming fixtures.

Finally, Everton Cebolinha is hoping to return to the pitch. Recovering from the flu, the forward rounds out the list of players undergoing medical re-evaluation and awaiting clearance to strengthen Leonardo Jardim’s team.
