Pulgar, Cebolinha, Paquetá, Luiz Araújo and Samuel Lino risk missing Flamengo’s next Brasileirão match | OneFootball

Flamengo face Mirassol on Wednesday 02 in a rearranged fourth round Brasileirão match, and Leonardo Jardim is alert to five potential suspensions.

According to Coluna Do Fla, Erick Pulgar, Everton Cebolinha, Lucas Paquetá, Luiz Araújo and Samuel Lino each have two yellow cards, so another caution would mean an automatic ban next time out.

All five are viewed as important in different areas of the squad, leaving Jardim to weigh rotation against keeping maximum strength on the pitch.

Next up is Remo on Sunday 06 at 16:00 Brasília time at the Mangueirão in Belém, round 26, so any caution on Wednesday would rule the player out.

Flamengo have six absentees for Mirassol. Alex Sandro and Vitão are with the medical department, and De La Cruz continues a physical recovery plan.

Gonzalo Plata has returned after a failed move to Dínamo de Moscou, but will not feature on Wednesday. New signings Anthony Valencia and Joaquín Freitas were not registered in time.

Flamengo sit second with 48 points and could trim Palmeiras’ lead to one. Mirassol are 16th with 25. Kick-off is 19:30 Brasília time at the Maracanã.
