In the match against Lanús, Flamengo played with Léo Pereira and Danilo. However, the number 4 felt a lot of cramps at the end of the match and could barely stand on the field. Léo Ortiz played during extra time, while Vitão remained on the bench.

Now against Madureira, coach Filipe Luís will have to choose two out of the three center-backs available. Since he is less fatigued, the likelihood of Vitão starting is high, as he did not play against Lanús.

When will Filipe Luís decide on the starting lineup?

Filipe Luís, however, will only decide on the starting lineup this Sunday (01), at CT Ninho do Urubu. The tendency is for the coach to use an alternative team, already keeping an eye on a possible final of the Campeonato Carioca.

When is the Flamengo vs Madureira match?

The match between Flamengo and Madureira is scheduled for Monday (02), at Maracanã, for the second leg of the semifinal of the Campeonato Carioca. The match will take place starting at 9:00 PM (Brasília time).
