Flamengo begin preparations for Recopa return leg against Lanús | OneFootball

After the victory over Madureira in the first leg of the Campeonato Carioca semifinal this Sunday, Flamengo turns its attention to the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana final against Lanús. The Rubro-Negro squad returned this Monday at Ninho do Urubu to begin preparations for the match scheduled for Thursday.

Absences and doubts

For the match, Jorginho and Saúl remain sidelined. The Spaniard is recovering from surgery on his left ankle, while the Italian is dealing with a left hamstring injury and is also unlikely to be available.

In addition to them, Wallace Yan missed the first Recopa game due to muscle pain and was also not listed to face Madureira. Therefore, he is a doubt for Filipe Luís.

Bruno Henrique also missed the Carioca game due to discomfort in the pubic region and is another player who might miss the final.

Title conditions

In the first leg of the Recopa last week, Flamengo was defeated by Lanús 1-0 in Argentina. Thus, the Rubro-Negro needs a victory by at least two goals to secure the title. A win by one goal would take the match to penalties, while a draw or a loss would award the trophy to Lanús.
