Flamengo look to reclaim a spot in the Brasileirão top four

After the end of the FIFA international break, Flamengo return to action this Thursday (02) to face Red Bull Bragantino. The Rubro-Negro, in fact, are looking for all three points to move into the top four of the Brasileirão. To do so, coach Leonardo Jardim has four absences and one player at risk of suspension.

Flamengo will be without four players against Bragantino. Alex Sandro is recovering from a muscle injury in his right thigh, while Bruno Henrique is finishing treatment for pubalgia. Lastly, Saúl is still recovering from surgery on his left heel, while Evertton Araújo will serve an automatic suspension.

Does Flamengo have any players at risk of suspension?

Yes! In addition to the absences, Flamengo are keeping a close eye on one player’s situation: Jorginho. That is because the midfielder is one booking away from suspension, with two yellow cards in the Brasileirão. In other words, if he is booked this Thursday (02), the player will have to serve a suspension in the next round.

Flamengo currently sit in fourth place in the Brasileirão, with 14 points. It is worth noting, however, that the Rubro-Negro have a game in hand compared to the top three teams. In seven matches, Leonardo Jardim’s side has four wins, two draws and one loss.
