Jardim rings changes for Flamengo v Estudiantes, see likely XI | OneFootball

Flamengo have three absences for Wednesday’s (29) match against Estudiantes (ARG)

Looking to take a big step toward qualification, Flamengo visit Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (29), at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, in the group stage of the Libertadores. Despite the team’s good form in the competition, coach Leonardo Jardim will need to adjust the starting lineup due to the confirmed absences of Erick Pulgar, Lucas Paquetá and Léo Pereira.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S PROBABLE LINEUP?

Rossi; Royal, Leo Ortiz, Danilo and Ayrton Lucas; Evertton Araújo, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Carrascal, Bruno Henrique and Pedro.

The tendency is for Leonardo Jardim to keep the core of the team, with Pedro as the main reference point in attack. On the offensive side, the battle for a spot out wide remains open: while Bruno Henrique is riding the momentum of two goals in two Libertadores matches, Samuel Lino is also in great form and competing for a starting place in the Rubro-Negro side.

The big new feature in the lineup could be Carrascal. That is because, while serving a suspension in CBF competitions, the Colombian midfielder is available for the Conmebol tournament and is in contention to start, since Leonardo Jardim cannot count on the injured Paquetá.

DO FLAMENGO HAVE ABSENCES?

The list of players unavailable for this round of the Libertadores includes important names. First, Lucas Paquetá and Erick Pulgar are still receiving treatment for their respective injuries. In addition, Léo Pereira is out while recovering from a cut on his shin. For that reason, Flamengo will make a change in central defense, with the experienced Danilo the favorite to come into the starting lineup.

WHAT TIME IS ESTUDIANTES vs FLAMENGO?

Flamengo face Estudiantes at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time this Thursday (29), at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, in La Plata, in the third round of the Libertadores. At the moment, the Rubro-Negro sit in first place, meaning they need a win to remain top of Group A.
