Flamengo have 5 absentees and 1 doubt for Mirassol clash in Brasileirão | OneFootball

The ball gets rolling for Flamengo vs. Mirassol at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Wednesday (02)

Flamengo are counting down to another Brasileirão match. This Wednesday (02), the Rubro-Negro host Mirassol at the Maracanã in the fourth round (rescheduled) of the national competition. For the match, head coach Leonardo Jardim is dealing with five confirmed absences and will still determine the status of one player.

According to reporting by journalist Mônica Alves from Coluna do Fla, left back Alex Sandro is recovering from pain in his right calf caused by tendinitis and is a confirmed absentee. Center back Vitão is being treated for a muscle injury in his left thigh and will also miss the round.

After failing his medical exams at Dynamo Moscow (RUS), Gonzalo Plata is returning to Flamengo, but he will not take the field against Mirassol. Finally, new signings Anthony Valencia and Joaquín Freitas were not registered in time for this Wednesday’s (02) match.

WHAT’S THE QUESTION MARK?

While the medical department works on the recovery of the injured players, the coaching staff are being cautious with De La Cruz. The Uruguayan midfielder has recovered from a thigh issue and took part in training with the group on Tuesday (01), but he is expected to remain off the pitch until he reaches ideal fitness.

DO FLAMENGO HAVE A BOOST?

Despite the absences and the uncertainty, head coach Leonardo Jardim knows he will have a boost as Flamengo head into the fourth round of the Brasileirão. That’s because, after serving an automatic suspension for yellow-card accumulation against Botafogo, Bruno Henrique is available again for Flamengo against Mirassol.

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS OF THE MATCH BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND MIRASSOL?
