Leonardo Jardim picks side for Flamengo v Santos in Saturday training | OneFootball

Flamengo hold final session before match against Santos

Flamengo take the field on Sunday (05) against Santos in the tenth round of the Brasileirão. On the eve of the match, head coach Leonardo Jardim will oversee the final training session at the Ninho do Urubu Training Center. During the session, the coach will define the starting lineup that will take the field at the Maracanã. The training will take place at 5pm (Brasília time).

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S PROBABLE STARTING LINEUP FOR THE MATCH AGAINST SANTOS?

Agustín Rossi, Guillermo Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Evertton Araújo (Lucas Paquetá), Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Samuel Lino, Lucas Paquetá (Carrascal) and Pedro.

WON’T THERE BE AN ACTIVATION SESSION ON SUNDAY?

Under Leonardo Jardim, Flamengo have been holding activation sessions on matchdays. However, in the weekly schedule released by the club, nothing has been planned for Sunday (05) so far. The squad’s fatigue after Thursday’s (02) defeat and the fact that the clash with Santos will be played in the afternoon weigh against holding a session just hours before kickoff.

Therefore, Leonardo Jardim will have his last opportunity to assess the squad before the match against Santos. The main question will be who replaces Erick Pulgar, who is suspended. Evertton Araújo is the favorite, but Lucas Paquetá is an outside option if the coach wants the No. 20 to play deeper. In addition, De La Cruz could also be the choice.

WHAT TIME IS FLAMENGO VS SANTOS?

The ball starts rolling for Flamengo vs Santos at 5:30pm (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the tenth round of the Brasileirão. If Mengão are on the pitch, then there is full live coverage from Coluna do Fla, straight from the Sacred Temple of world football. On television, Globo will broadcast the match free-to-air for much of the country.
