Flamengo team news: new signings train but not registered in time to face Mirassol | OneFootball

Anthony Valencia and Joaquín Freitas trained on Tuesday but were not registered in time to face Mirassol at the Maracanã on Wednesday. According to Globo.com, the pair are likely to make their Flamengo debuts only on Sunday against Remo, while Leonardo Jardim welcomes Bruno Henrique back.

De la Cruz trained after a left thigh injury, but his selection remains uncertain. Alex Sandro and Vitão stay sidelined as they continue their recoveries.

Jardim is expected to continue rotating his squad. Varela may return to the starting side, while Carrascal and Paquetá are also in contention to begin.

Flamengo sit second in the Brasileirão on 48 points and are chasing victory to move to 51, which would close on leaders Palmeiras in the title race.

The probable XI includes Rossi, Varela (Royal), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas, Pulgar, Jorginho, Arrascaeta, Carrascal (Paquetá), Samuel Lino and Pedro (Bruno Henrique).
