Flamengo face Fluminense in the 11th round of the Brasileirão

Flamengo take the field this Sunday (12) when they face Fluminense in the 11th round of the Brasileirão. For the derby, Flamengo have four confirmed absences and one player at risk of suspension with two yellow cards.

Who is unavailable for Flamengo?

As mentioned earlier, Flamengo have four confirmed absences for the match against Fluminense. In short, Saúl, who had surgery on his left heel right at the start of the season, remains sidelined despite making progress in his recovery.

Meanwhile, Jorginho is recovering from a muscle injury in his left calf. At the same time, Erick Pulgar is recovering from an injury to the acromioclavicular joint in his right shoulder, and Everton Cebolinha from a fractured rib.

What about the players at risk of suspension?

It is worth noting that Alex Sandro could return to boost Flamengo against Fluminense. The full-back has recovered from the muscle injury that ruled him out of the March international break. On Friday (10) and Saturday (11), the player trained with the group and is now waiting to find out whether he will be included in the squad for this Sunday’s (12) derby.

That means if he is included for the match against Fluminense, Alex Sandro is the Flamengo player at risk of suspension. Besides him, Jorginho and Everton Cebolinha also have two yellow cards, but since they are unavailable for Fla in the derby, they are not at risk of receiving a third booking in the 11th round of the Brasileirão.

What are the match details?

Flamengo and Fluminense face off from 6:00 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (12). The match takes place at the Maracanã, valid for the 11th round of the Brasileirão, with live broadcast on Premiere pay-per-view.
