Why Arrascaeta and Cebolinha miss Flamengo v Atlético-MG in Copa do Brasil | OneFootball

Flamengo and Atlético-MG take to the field for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time)

The Flamengo chose to leave Arrascaeta and Everton Cebolinha out of the game against Atlético-MG for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil this Thursday (31). According to a report by Coluna do Fla, the absence of the two forwards was a technical decision.

The decision aims to control the workload of Arrascaeta. However, Cebolinha presented a mild case of tendinitis and the club chose not to push him. However, other players usually considered starters, even if related, will also not start the match for the same physical preservation criteria.

Flamengo's starters:

Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Viña; Allan, Evertton Araújo, Matheus Gonçalves; Luiz Araújo, Gonzalo Plata and Pedro.

Are there Flamengo players in the medical department?

Besides Arrascaeta and Cebolinha, the red-black team does not count on Danilo, who is treating a muscle injury in the thigh. Meanwhile, Erick Pulgar is still out due to surgery on his right foot. On the other hand, Michael is still treating pain in his left ankle and De la Cruz was spared due to physical load control.

When does Flamengo play?

The duel at Maracanã will start at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with broadcast by SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view). However, the complete coverage will be available on the platforms of Coluna do Fla.
