Flamengo takes the field this Sunday (22) to face Corinthians in a match valid for the eighth round of the Brasileirão. For the classic, coach Leonardo Jardim already knows he will be without four players: Bruno Henrique, Erick Pulgar, Léo Pereira, and Saúl Ñíguez.
Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Vitão and Alex Sandro; Evertton Araújo (De la Cruz), Jorginho and Arrascaeta (Carrascal); Paquetá (Luiz Araújo), Samuel Lino, and Pedro.
Leonardo Jardim has indicated that he intends to stick with a team similar to the one that has been playing in recent matches, with Pedro as the reference in attack. In addition, Samuel Lino, who has stood out under the Portuguese coach, is expected to remain among the starters.
However, Jardim will have to make important changes both in defense and midfield. This is because Léo Pereira and Pulgar received their third yellow card in the last game, which means they must serve an automatic suspension against Corinthians.
In addition to Léo Pereira and Pulgar, Flamengo will have two more absences. Saúl is still recovering from surgery on his left ankle, while Bruno Henrique is treating a pubalgia.
Flamengo faces Corinthians at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (22), at Neo Química Arena, for the eighth round of the Brasileirão. At the moment, Rubro-Negro is in fifth place in the table, meaning they need a win to climb up the standings.
Record (free-to-air channel) will broadcast the game, while Premiere (pay-per-view) and Cazé TV (YouTube) will also show Corinthians vs Flamengo. In addition, Coluna do Fla will provide complete real-time coverage, with minute-by-minute updates on the website, updates on social media, and on YouTube. The reporting team will be at Neo Química Arena, with reporter Leo José, to follow closely and bring all the details of the match.
