Flamengo take the field this Sunday (05) to face Santos at the Maracanã in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. With that in mind, head coach Leonardo Jardim announced the Rubro-Negro lineup, with midfielder Arrascaeta included.
Starters: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Evertton Araújo, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Jorge Carrascal, Samuel Lino and Pedro.
Substitutes: Andrew, Dyogo Alves, Emerson Royal, Daniel Sales, Danilo, Vitão, De La Cruz, Lucas Paquetá, Luiz Araújo, Gonzalo Plata, Bruno Henrique and Wallace Yan.
Arrascaeta is back for Flamengo, as he did not play against Red Bull Bragantino last Thursday (02). The Uruguayan midfielder was left out due to workload management following the FIFA international break with Uruguay, as he featured in the friendlies against England and Algeria.
Flamengo will be without three players for the match against Santos. That is because Erick Pulgar is suspended and also suffered a shoulder injury. In addition, Alex Sandro and Saúl Ñíguez are being treated by the medical department.
So, Flamengo face Santos this Sunday (05) at the Maracanã in a match valid for the tenth round of the Brazilian Championship. The match kicks off at 5:30 PM (Brasília time) in Rio de Janeiro.
As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the information about the match, with reporting from Rodrigo Lima live from the Maracanã. In addition, TV Globo on free-to-air television, GE TV on YouTube, and Premiere via pay-per-view will broadcast the match.
