Léo Ortiz set to miss out for Flamengo against Bragantino | OneFootball

Léo Ortiz is not yet fully recovered from ankle issue

Out of action since the semifinal of the Libertadores, Léo Ortiz is expected to remain absent for Flamengo. The defender did not train on the field during Thursday (20) and Friday (21) sessions and has little chance of being included for the match against Bragantino on Saturday (22), for the 35th round of the Brasileirão.

Léo Ortiz suffered a sprain in his right ankle on October 19, during the 3-2 victory over Palmeiras. Subsequently, the defender made a ‘sacrifice’ ten days later in the goalless draw against Racing (ARG), which placed Flamengo in the Libertadores final.

Since then, the situation of Léo Ortiz has become a ‘mystery’. The player even trained on the field on the eve of the classic against Fluminense earlier this week. However, he remained in the gym during the last two sessions before the clash with Bragantino.

SO, WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S PROBABLE LINEUP FOR THE MATCH AGAINST BRAGANTINO?

Thus, without Léo Ortiz, and also missing the suspended Erick Pulgar and Saúl, Flamengo is expected to field the following lineup. Rossi; Varela, Danilo, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro; Jorginho, Evertton Araújo and Arrascaeta; Carrascal (Luiz Araújo), Cebolinha (Lino) and Plata (Bruno Henrique).

WHEN WILL FLAMENGO VS BRAGANTINO TAKE PLACE?

The match between Flamengo and Bragantino kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday (22), at Maracanã, for the 35th round of the Brasileirão. If Mengão is on the field, there is full coverage by Coluna do Fla, directly from the stadium. In case of victory, the Most Beloved will remain at the top of the Brasileirão.
