Flamengo hit by last-minute absence for clash with Madureira | OneFootball

Bruno Henrique will not face Madureira in the semifinal of the Campeonato Carioca

Flamengo will not be able to count on Bruno Henrique for Sunday's (22nd) match against Madureira, in the first leg of the Campeonato Carioca semifinal. The club idol is experiencing pain and will be rested. The tendency is that the number 27 will not be a problem for Thursday (26th), when the Most Beloved will decide the Recopa against Lanús (ARG).

“With discomfort in the pubic region, the player could not be listed for Sunday's match. He is undergoing intensive treatment with the club's Medical Department,” informed Flamengo in a statement released to the press on Sunday afternoon (22nd). Besides Bruno Henrique, Jorginho and Wallace Yan remain in the medical department.

WHO WILL LEAD FLAMENGO'S ATTACK WITHOUT BRUNO HENRIQUE?

In recent months, Bruno Henrique has been used as a center-forward by Filipe Luís. Thus, the tendency is for Pedro Guilherme to start the match against Madureira. Another option is Gonzalo Plata, who has been playing as a '9'. A third alternative is to repeat the strategy from the match with Lanús, with Jorge Carrascal and Arrascaeta 'floating' in the role.

Besides Bruno Henrique, Jorginho and Wallace Yan, Flamengo has listed the maximum available strength. Even with the decisive Recopa game on Thursday (26th), Filipe Luís took the whole group for the match. However, in the team's lineup, it's possible that a reserve base will be set up.

WHAT TIME WILL FLAMENGO VS MADUREIRA BE, AFTER ALL?

Thus, the ball will roll for Flamengo and Madureira starting at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. If Mengão is on the field, then there is full coverage by Coluna do Fla. Additionally, the channels GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (closed channel), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.
