The journey of Mengão towards their ninth Brasileirão championship continues. This Saturday (25th), Flamengo faces Fortaleza in the 30th round. For the clash at Arena Castelão, coach Filipe Luís has already defined the starting lineup.

SUBSTITUTES: Matheus Cunha, Varela, João Victor, Iago, Viña, Evertton Araújo, Allan, Wallace Yan, Michael, Luiz Araújo, Douglas and Juninho.

WHO ARE FLAMENGO'S ABSENTEES?

Coach Filipe Luís faced many challenges to set up Flamengo for the match against Fortaleza. That’s because the team has seven confirmed absences due to medical and physical reasons, which directly affected the coach’s planning.

Among those missing, Pedro is recovering from a forearm fracture, while Léo Ortiz is experiencing pain in his right ankle. In addition, De La Cruz was sidelined due to a virus, Alex Sandro is on load management, and Everton Cebolinha is treating a muscle injury in his hip.

Finally, Flamengo will also be without Jorge Carrascal and Erick Pulgar, both suspended after receiving their third yellow card against Palmeiras. With so many absences, Filipe Luís will need to reorganize the team and find alternatives to maintain the squad’s good performance.
