Filipe Luís has some doubts in setting up the lineup for Flamengo with an eye on the match against Bahia in Salvador. For the match of the 27th round of the Brasileirão, the coach will lead the final training session on the morning of this Saturday (04).
The activity at Ninho do Urubu takes place at 9:30 am (Brasília time). Thus, Filipe Luís will decide on the Flamengo lineup on the eve of the match. For this, the coach needs to find substitutes for the suspended Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro.
Danilo and Ayrton Lucas are expected to take the spots in the defense line, alongside Léo Ortiz and Varela. However, the red-black coach might still preserve some players due to the high-tension match marathon.
It is worth remembering that Filipe Luís has only this Saturday's (04) training to use the entire squad. This is because, in Friday's (03) activity, the starters from the match against Cruzeiro underwent regenerative work.
Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Danilo and Ayrton Lucas; Saúl (De La Cruz), Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Plata (Carrascal), Samuel Lino (Everton Cebolinha) and Pedro (Bruno Henrique).
After the morning training to decide the Flamengo lineup, the squad will have lunch at Ninho do Urubu and then travel to Salvador. Therefore, the red-black delegation will arrive in the Bahian capital in the late afternoon.
The Bahia vs. Flamengo match for the 27th round of the Brasileirão takes place at 6:30 pm (Brasília time) this Sunday (05), at Fonte Nova. Thus, with 55 points, Mengo needs a victory over the sixth-placed team, which has 40 points, to stay in the lead.
