Jardim faces three suspensions and selection calls for Flamengo’s game against Bragantino | OneFootball

According to Globo.com, Pulgar, Lucas Paquetá and Samuel Lino are suspended after receiving a third yellow card against Corinthians in the last round, so Jardim will need to alter his Flamengo line-up for Bragantino.

Flamengo returned to Ninho do Urubu on Friday. The starters did recovery work while the reserves trained on the pitch, and a full session on Saturday is planned to settle the XI. The only medical absentee is Evertton Araújo with a grade 3 injury. His comeback is expected in November.

A possible XI is Rossi, Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira or Danilo, and Ayrton Lucas, Saúl or De la Cruz, Jorginho and Arrascaeta, with Bruno Henrique, Plata and Pedro in attack.

Saúl came on after Jorginho was sent off against Independiente del Valle and is currently ahead to start in midfield, with De la Cruz also an option. On the left, Bruno Henrique could begin, although Jardim can also turn to Carrascal, Luiz Araújo or Plata.

Flamengo lead the Brasileirão by one point over Palmeiras. After this match there will be a 17-day pause for the FIFA window, with the next game on 8 October away to Santos.
