Flamengo missing three players for Sampaio Corrêa clash in the Carioca | OneFootball

Flamengo and Sampaio Corrêa face off at 9 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday (07)

Flamengo is counting down to a decisive match in the Campeonato Carioca. This Saturday (07), the Rubro-Negro faces Sampaio Corrêa at Maracanã for the sixth round of the State Championship. For the match that could secure a spot in the knockout stage, coach Filipe Luís will have to deal with three confirmed absences.

After the Supercup, played against Corinthians, Jorginho experienced muscle pain. Imaging tests conducted throughout the week confirmed an injury in the posterior region of the left thigh of the midfielder.

Additionally, Saúl remains out while recovering from ankle surgery. Meanwhile, Luiz Araújo will also be absent against Sampaio Corrêa due to muscle pain in the right thigh.

HOW CAN FLAMENGO QUALIFY IN CARIOCA?

With four points and a goal difference of -4, Flamengo seeks to distance itself from the relegation quadrangular of the Campeonato Carioca. In this scenario, victory is the only result that matters to the Rubro-Negro this Saturday (07).

Currently outside the qualification zone for the knockout stage, the red-black team needs to defeat Sampaio Corrêa. Additionally, they will have to hope for a slip-up by Madureira, Boavista, or Nova Iguaçu.

In practice, the only scenario in which Flamengo would advance without winning involves a draw with Sampaio Corrêa. Even so, it would be necessary for Nova Iguaçu to lose by five goals or more against Portuguesa.
