The absence of key players is due to various reasons, such as injuries and physical fatigue, requiring attention from the medical department and coaching staff. Flamengo will take the field with a 3-goal advantage gained in the first leg.

Meet the absentees

Forward Bruno Henrique tops the list of absences. He is experiencing pubalgia and, for this reason, will not be included in the squad to face Madureira. The player is already undergoing treatment.

Three other players appear on the list of absentees due to physical fatigue after the match against Lanús. Erick Pulgar, with muscle pain, underwent imaging tests that did not reveal any injury, but, following medical advice, will also not play. Jorginho, who had just returned from injury, experienced increased fatigue in the last match and, by decision of the medical department, was ruled out.

Léo Pereira, after playing for more than 120 minutes against Lanús, showed high levels of fatigue and will also not be on the field. The defender will train at CT George Helal on the day of the match.

Old case

Finally, midfielder Saúl is still in the recovery process after surgery on his left heel. Although he no longer needs immobilization, the player remains sidelined as he recovers from the surgical procedure.
