In addition to the called-up players, Flamengo will also be without Léo Ortiz for the match against River Plate. The center-back suffered a muscle injury in Rubro-Negro’s last game before the World Cup and is now in the final stage of treatment.

On the other hand, head coach Leonardo Jardim can count on the return of Erick Pulgar. After a long spell out due to injury, the midfielder has returned to training and is among the starters for the clash with River Plate.
