Leonardo Jardim names replacements for Jorginho and Pulgar for Flamengo v Cusco | OneFootball

Flamengo begin their 2026 Copa Libertadores campaign against Cusco on Wednesday at 21:30 Brasília time, with Leonardo Jardim naming De La Cruz and Everrton Araújo to replace Jorginho and Erick Pulgar in the starting XI.

According to Coluna Do Fla, the match will be played at the Estádio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega in Peru.

Pulgar misses out with an acromioclavicular joint injury in his right shoulder. The Chilean is undergoing treatment and has no return date yet.

Jorginho is sidelined by a left calf problem suffered against Santos on Sunday. He underwent tests and did not travel to Cusco.

Jardim has also tweaked the back line, with Danilo in for Léo Ortiz. Ayrton Lucas keeps his place at full-back as Alex Sandro continues recovery from a muscle injury.

In attack, Bruno Henrique starts ahead of Pedro, while Plata operates from the left and Carrascal from the right.
