Flamengo likely XI: how Leonardo Jardim should set up vs Coritiba | OneFootball

Flamengo and Coritiba face off at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) this Saturday (30)

Leonardo Jardim will have to rack his brains to put together the lineup for Flamengo vs Coritiba this Saturday (30), at 4 p.m. (Brasília time). In the 18th round clash of the Brasileirão, the coach will be without ten players.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S PROBABLE LINEUP?

Agustín Rossi, Emerson Royal, Léo Ortiz, Vitão and Ayrton Lucas; Erick Pulgar, Evertton Araújo and Luiz Araújo (Saúl); Samuel Lino, Bruno Henrique (Luiz Araújo) and Pedro.

In defense, for example, Jardim does not have many options. With Varela and Alex Sandro away on international duty, Emerson Royal and Ayrton Lucas will start against Coritiba. At center back, it is the same situation: Danilo and Léo Pereira are with Brazil, so Léo Ortiz and Vitão will play.

In midfield, Flamengo cannot count on Jorginho (injured) and the called-up players Arrascaeta, Lucas Paquetá, Nico De La Cruz and Jorge Carrascal. Therefore, Erick Pulgar and Evertton Araújo are the favorites to form the double pivot. In the playmaking role, Luiz Araújo could play deeper, or Saúl, who came off in pain in the last match against Cusco (PER), has a chance of starting the clash.

Up front, Flamengo lost Gonzalo Plata, who is with Ecuador. As a result, Samuel Lino and Pedro are confirmed to face Coritiba. The doubt is between Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araújo, who could play on the wing if Leonardo Jardim opts for Saúl in the playmaking role.
