Flamengo takes the field with 'alert on' in the 27th round of the Brasileirão. For the game against Bahia, the red-black team has four absences and another three players on the brink. Therefore, the scenario requires extra attention from Filipe Luís.
Erick Pulgar remains out. The midfielder continues in physical reconditioning process after injuring the fifth metatarsal of his right foot. The expectation is that the number 5 will return only after the next FIFA Date.
Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro are missing from the red-black team due to suspension. Both received their third yellow card in the draw with Cruzeiro, last Thursday (02). Therefore, Flamengo's defensive system will have changes against Bahia.
Saúl Ñíguez completes the list of absences for Mengão. The Spanish midfielder felt pain in his left ankle and, as a precaution, the red-black coaching staff decided to rest him. The player did not travel to Salvador with the rest of the squad.
The game against Bahia also brings risks of new absences. Allan, Arrascaeta and Carrascal are on the brink with two yellow cards. Therefore, if they are cautioned, they will miss Flamengo's classic against Botafogo, in the 28th round of the Brasileirão.
Flamengo and Bahia face off this Sunday (05), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Arena Fonte Nova. The match is valid for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship.
Therefore, the broadcast is by the Premiere channel, on pay-per-view. In addition, Coluna do Fla TV covers everything via YouTube, website and social networks.
