Santos is lined up to face Flamengo shortly, at 5:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Easter Sunday afternoon. The clash at the Maracanã is valid for the tenth round of the Brazilian Championship. For the match, coach Cuca will have Gabigol back after recovering from edema in his right thigh. The forward, however, will start the game on the Peixe bench.

Coach Cuca will have important absences for the match. Neymar is suspended due to yellow card accumulation and will not face the Rio side. Rony is another absentee for the same reason.
With a minor edema in his right quadriceps, right-back Igor Vinícius will not be available. Vinícius Lira (left knee injury), Mayke (rested due to corticosteroid use), and Gabriel Menino (right hamstring injury) are also unavailable.
Thus, Santos will take the field with: Gabriel Brazão; Zé Ivaldo, Lucas Veríssimo, Luan Peres and Escobar; Oliva, Gustavo Henrique and Bontempo; Barreal, Thaciano and Lautaro Díaz.
Meanwhile, Flamengo have lost Pulgar for the match against Santos. The Chilean midfielder was sent off in the last round and is serving a suspension against Peixe. Besides him, Alex Sandro and Saúl remain injured and are also out. On the other hand, Bruno Henrique and Evertton Araújo are once again options for Leonardo Jardim.
Flamengo's lineup is: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Evertton Araújo, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Carrascal, Pedro and Lino.
