According to Coluna Do Fla, Lucas Paquetá has returned to group training after a left hamstring issue and also worked with the under-20s during the Chapecoense trip. Although medically cleared, he is regaining full fitness and will not be selected.

Luiz Araújo remains out as he recovers from a left knee injury. Gonzalo Plata has pain in his right knee due to pes anserinus tendinitis, and scans show no injury. The medical team are treating the complaint and he is likely to miss the game.

Léo Ortiz and De La Cruz await a decision after training on Tuesday 28, before the squad fly to Porto Alegre. They sat out São Paulo by Leonardo Jardim's choice after limited training, Ortiz amid injury transition and De La Cruz due to a recurring knee history.

Jorge Carrascal returns after serving a three-match STJD suspension and is available on Wednesday. He has not played for Flamengo since 23 May, when he featured for 21 minutes against Palmeiras and was sent off.

Flamengo are second in the table on 38 points, six behind leaders Palmeiras on 44.
