It is worth noting that against Flamengo, Bahia will be led by assistant coach Charles Hembert. That is because Rogério Ceni is suspended. Therefore, the coach will be at the Maracanã, but not on the touchline.
At the moment, Flamengo has three confirmed absences for the game against Bahia. That is because Jorginho is recovering from a muscle injury in his left calf, while Erick Pulgar is being treated for an injury to his right shoulder. Finally, Jorge Carrascal is serving a suspension after being sent off against Fluminense.
