Flamengo spring surprises with line-up for Fluminense clash | OneFootball

Still Dealing with Absences, Flamengo Faces Fluminense Starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) This Wednesday (19th)

To stay at the top of the Brasileirão, Flamengo will face Fluminense this Wednesday (19th), starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Still struggling with many absences due to injury, not to mention the players returning from the FIFA break, Filipe Luís had to make several changes to the starting eleven. The main news is the return of Jorginho, who will be on the bench.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S LINEUP FOR THE MATCH AGAINST FLUMINENSE?

Starters: Agustín Rossi, Emerson Royal, João Victor, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Erick Pulgar, Saúl and Luiz Araújo; Samuel Lino, Carrascal and Bruno Henrique

Substitutes: Matheus Cunha, Varela, Danilo, Cleiton, Alex Sandro, Evertton Araújo, Jorginho, Wallace Yan, Everton Cebolinha, Michael and Gonzalo Plata

Jorginho had not played since October 29th, when Flamengo eliminated Racing (ARG), away from home, in the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores da América. The midfielder has recovered from a muscle injury in his right thigh and is available to coach Filipe Luís.

While Jorginho is the good news, three players remain out: Léo Ortiz (ankle sprain), Allan (plantar fasciitis), and Pedro (muscle injury in the left thigh). In addition, there is the issue of the called-up players, who went through a ‘marathon’ to be at Maracanã and are not able to play the full 90 minutes.

WHICH FLAMENGO PLAYERS WERE CALLED UP?

On Tuesday (18th), Danilo (Brazil), Plata (Ecuador), Carrascal (Colombia), Arrascaeta and Viña (Uruguay) played for their respective national teams, in France and the United States. In addition, Alex Sandro and Varela, who did not play, also faced the long journey.
