Flamengo face Bahia this Sunday (19) in the 12th round of the Brasileirão. For the match, which kicks off at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, the Rubro-Negro have three absentees, in addition to three players at risk of suspension.
Starting with the absences: sent off in the derby against Fluminense last Sunday (12), Carrascal is a confirmed absentee. The Colombian will also miss Flamengo’s upcoming matches due to a punishment related to the red card he received in the Supercopa do Brasil final.
In addition, Jorginho is also out as he is recovering from a left calf injury. Finally, Erick Pulgar is unavailable as well, as the Chilean is under Flamengo’s medical department due to a right shoulder injury.
Alex Sandro, Everton Cebolinha and Jorginho are the players at risk of suspension, meaning they each have two yellow cards. Therefore, if any of these players receive another booking, they will serve an automatic suspension in the match against Atlético-MG, which takes place on April 26 at Arena MRV in Belo Horizonte.
Flamengo come into this Sunday’s (19) clash highly motivated. That’s because, in their Libertadores match, the Rubro-Negro thrashed Independiente Medellín (COL) 4-1 and, as a result, moved clear at the top of Group A with six points.
The match between Flamengo and Bahia will be covered by Coluna do Fla TV, the most rubro-negro outlet on the internet, on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media. Finally, Premiere, via pay-per-view, will broadcast the clash valid for the 12th round of the Brasileirão.
