Flamengo returns to the fight for their second Recopa Sudamericana title this Thursday (26). With a focus on the return match against Lanús (ARG), Filipe Luís will define the starting lineup in a training session held on Wednesday afternoon (25).
Initially, the probable lineup for Flamengo is as follows: Rossi; Varela, Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz and Alex Sandro; Pulgar, Arrascaeta and Lucas Paquetá; Carrascal, Everton Cebolinha and Pedro. However, the team will still be finalized in Wednesday's training session (18).
Thus, at Ninho do Urubu, Filipe Luís will define the starting lineup for Flamengo that will face Lanús in a training session scheduled for 3:30 pm (local time). It is worth noting that, despite the probable lineup mentioned above, the red-black coach may field a different team.
Yes! So far, Flamengo has one confirmed absence. That is Saúl, who is still recovering from ankle surgery performed at the beginning of the year. On the other hand, the Most Beloved may have some reinforcements for the match.
In summary, Jorginho may be available for the return match against Lanús. Wednesday's training session (25) will be decisive in determining the midfielder’s situation, as he has missed Flamengo’s recent games.
In addition, Wallace Yan may also return to the field for Flamengo this Thursday (26). After missing the last three matches, the forward is undergoing physical reconditioning. Finally, Bruno Henrique has been experiencing pain in the pubic region, but may play through it due to the importance of the match against Lanús.
It’s worth remembering that Flamengo lost the first leg 1-0. Therefore, the team led by Filipe Luís now needs to win the return leg by at least one goal to take the decision to penalties.
On the other hand, if Flamengo wins by two or more goals, they will become the great champions of the 2026 Recopa Sudamericana, securing their second title. In 2020, the Most Beloved lifted the trophy under the command of Jorge Jesus.
This Thursday (26), Flamengo and Lanús will play the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. The match will take place at Maracanã, starting at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), with live coverage on ESPN, on the pay TV channel, and Disney+, via streaming.
