Flamengo lose player late on before Internacional Brasileirão clash

Which player is out of the Flamengo vs Internacional match in the Brasileirão?

Flamengo has one more absence for the match against Internacional, in the second round of the Brasileirão. That's because forward Luiz Araújo has reported muscle pain and, as a result, is out of the match that will take place at 7pm (Brasília time) this Wednesday (04), at Maracanã.

Luiz Araújo has been receiving ‘special attention’ since the start of the 2026 season. In Flamengo’s debut in the Brasileirão, in fact, the forward was left out due to physical load management.

In the Supercopa do Brasil final, last Sunday (01), Luiz Araújo was an option on the bench. This time, due to muscle issues, the number 7 will once again be absent for the Rubro-Negro. The information comes from journalist Venê Casagrande.

WHO ARE FLAMENGO’S ABSENCES FOR THE MATCH AGAINST INTERNACIONAL?

In addition to Luiz Araújo, Flamengo has two confirmed absences. Starting with Saúl Ñíguez, who has started rehab work after surgery on his left heel. Meanwhile, Jorginho is out because he was sent off in Rubro-Negro’s debut in the Brasileirão against São Paulo, at Morumbis.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE A REINFORCEMENT FOR THE MATCH AGAINST INTERNACIONAL?

Yes! Flamengo’s main signing for the 2026 season, Lucas Paquetá, will make his return in the Sacred Mantle. The expectation is that the Cria do Ninho will start the match as an option on the bench. However, due to his good physical condition, it’s not ruled out that he could start as a starter.
