Flamengo have five out and one doubt for Mirassol clash in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Flamengo host Mirassol on Wednesday in a rearranged fourth-round Brasileirão fixture, with head coach Leonardo Jardim facing five confirmed absentees and one doubt.

According to Coluna Do Fla, left-back Alex Sandro is out with tendinitis in his right calf, and centre-back Vitão also misses out due to a left thigh muscle injury.

After failing a medical at Dynamo Moscow, Gonzalo Plata is returning to the club but will not feature. New arrivals Anthony Valencia and Joaquín Freitas were not registered in time.

The coaching staff are managing De La Cruz carefully. The Uruguayan midfielder has overcome a thigh issue and trained with the group on Tuesday, but should remain sidelined until he regains full fitness.

There is one boost, with Bruno Henrique available after serving a one-match ban for yellow card accumulation against Botafogo.

Kick-off is 19:30 Brasília time. Flamengo sit second on 48 points, four behind leaders Palmeiras on 52.
