Flamengo set for Bragantino trip as Ancelotti assesses Léo Pereira, Luiz Henrique latest | OneFootball

Flamengo are set to resume after the FIFA break, with focus on an away meeting with Red Bull Bragantino.

According to Coluna Do Fla, the ninth-round Brasileirão fixture will be played on Thursday, and the squad are due to travel on Wednesday night to São Paulo.

Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti used the last international window before the World Cup to look at options, and said the display of the Flamengo centre-back left further questions.

He said he was most satisfied that the newcomers took their opportunity, which, he noted, increases uncertainty over his final World Cup list. He named Igor Thiago, Léo Pereira, Danilo, Endrick and Kaiki as having performed well.

On the market front, Zenit had wanted to sell Luiz Henrique for 50 million euros, approximately R$ 305 million. The Russian club now appears open to reducing the price to 40 million euros, around R$ 244 million, in the next window.

Asked on Monday, the 30th, about a possible move to Flamengo after the World Cup, Luiz Henrique laughed and chose not to comment.
