Flamengo visit Remo on Sunday with TV coverage, selection doubts and top-spot incentive | OneFootball

Flamengo visit Remo at the Estádio Mangueirão in Belém on Sunday (06), a 26th-round Brasileirão meeting with title implications.

According to Coluna Do Fla, Rede Globo will broadcast free-to-air, with Premiere pay-per-view and GE TV (YouTube) also showing it. The outlet will run a YouTube live from pre-match to post-match, with reporters Simon Lédo and Rock Hudson at Mangueirão for interviews and Leonardo Jardim’s press conference.

Flamengo arrive after beating Mirassol 2-0 on Wednesday (02) at the Maracanã, a rescheduled fourth-round fixture.

Leonardo Jardim will be without Alex Sandro, Evertton Araújo and Gonzalo Plata. Araújo has a serious left adductor injury, Alex Sandro is recovering from pain in his left calf, and Plata is returning from Russia after a failed move to Dynamo Moscow (RUS).

The likely Flamengo XI is Rossi, Emerson Royal, Léo Ortiz (Danilo), Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas, Jorginho, Paquetá and Arrascaeta, Carrascal, Pedro and Samuel Lino. Final selections will be decided at Saturday’s (05) training.

Remo lost 3-2 to Coritiba on Monday (31) at the Mangueirão in the 25th round.

Mayk, Edson Fernando and Jajá have recovered fitness and should be available to Léo Condé. A probable Remo XI is Marcelo Rangel, Marcelinho, Marllon, Tchamba and Mayk (Marlon), Zé Welison, Picco and Zé Ricardo, Yago Pikachu, Jajá and Gabriel Taliari.

Flamengo are second on 51 points and could go top with a win if Palmeiras, currently on 52, draw or lose.
