Major return and doubt up front: Flamengo's likely XI v Atlético-MG | OneFootball

Flamengo have four absences for the match against Atlético-MG this Sunday (26)

Flamengo take the field this Sunday (26) to face Atlético-MG in a match valid for the 13th round of the Brasileirão. For the game, coach Leonardo Jardim already knows he will not be able to count on four players: Carrascal, De La Cruz, Erick Pulgar and Lucas Paquetá.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S PROBABLE LINEUP?

Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Evertton Araújo, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Plata, Pedro and Bruno Henrique (Samuel Lino).

Leonardo Jardim has indicated that he should keep the core of the team from recent matches, with Pedro as the main reference up front. The main doubt is on the wing: Samuel Lino, in great form under the Portuguese coach, is battling Bruno Henrique for a starting spot.

The big new addition to the lineup should be Jorginho. Recovered from a calf injury, the number 21 was already available last Wednesday (22) against Vitória, but stayed on the bench by technical choice. Now, the tendency is for the midfielder to get minutes again after being out for 21 days.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE ANY ABSENCES?

The list of absences for the 13th round includes important names. First, Lucas Paquetá and Erick Pulgar are still undergoing treatment for their respective injuries. Another certain absence is Jorge Carrascal, who was punished by the STJD. Rounding out the list, De La Cruz will not play either, as the coaching staff decided to rest him due to the condition of the synthetic pitch at Arena MRV.

WHAT TIME IS ATLÉTICO-MG vs FLAMENGO?

Flamengo face Atlético-MG at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (26), at Arena MRV, for the 13th round of the Brasileirão. At the moment, the Rubro-Negro sit second in the table, so they need a win to stay close to the leaders.

SporTV (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast Atlético-MG vs Flamengo. In addition, Coluna do Fla will provide full live coverage, with minute-by-minute updates on the website, updates on social media, and on YouTube. The reporting team will be in Belo Horizonte, with reporter Rodrigo Lima, to follow it closely and bring all the details of the match.
