Corinthians miss 5, 8 at risk for Flamengo clash in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Flamengo and Corinthians face off at Neo Química Arena

Flamengo takes the field this Sunday (22) to face Corinthians in the eighth round of the Brasileirão. The coach of the São Paulo team, Dorival Júnior, has important absences as he sets up the team.

This is because Corinthians has five absences for the match against Flamengo. Felipe Longo, Hugo, and Kaio César are under the care of the Medical Department. In addition, on loan from Mengão, Allan will not be available to Dorival Júnior, while Jesse Lingard has not yet been registered in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID).

And what about the players at risk of suspension?

In addition to the absences, Corinthians is on alert regarding the situation of eight players this Sunday (22). They are: Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho, Gustavo Henrique, André Ramalho, Matheus Bidu, Fabrizio Angileri, Raniele, and André Carrillo.

After all, these players are at risk of suspension with two yellow cards each. In other words, if the Corinthians players are booked against Flamengo, they will have to serve an automatic suspension in the next round of the Brasileirão.

Why won't Allan face Flamengo?

The loan agreement between Corinthians and Flamengo includes a R$ 2 million fine if the São Paulo team decides to field Allan against Mengão. Therefore, Dorival Júnior's team chose to leave the midfielder out of the derby.

When will Flamengo and Corinthians face each other?

The interstate derby between Flamengo and Corinthians takes place this Sunday (22), for the eighth round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Corinthians through YouTube, their website, and their social media. However, Record (free-to-air channel), Premiere (pay-per-view), and Cazé TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Brasileirão derby.
