Two missing, four at risk: Flamengo’s squad for Grêmio clash | OneFootball

What are Flamengo’s absences and suspended players?

Flamengo takes the field this Sunday (31) to face Grêmio in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The match will kick off at 4pm (Brasília time) at Maracanã. For this game, coach Filipe Luís has to deal with two absences, in addition to four players who are ‘on the verge’ of suspension.

WHO ARE FLAMENGO’S ABSENCES FOR THE MATCH AGAINST GRÊMIO?

Starting with the absences. In Flamengo’s 8-0 thrashing of Vitória, Alex Sandro felt pain in his left calf and, after medical exams, it was confirmed that he had an injury in the area. As a result, the full-back is out of this Sunday’s (31) match.

In addition to Alex Sandro, Erick Pulgar is also a confirmed absence, as he is still undergoing procedures set by Flamengo’s Medical Department after surgery on his right foot. The return of the number 5 is expected at the beginning of October.

WHO ARE THE FLAMENGO PLAYERS AT RISK OF SUSPENSION FOR THE MATCH AGAINST GRÊMIO?

Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Allan, and Pulgar are all one yellow card away from suspension, meaning they have two yellow cards each. Therefore, if any of these players receive another card, they will miss Flamengo’s next Brasileirão match, which will be against Juventude, away from home, on September 14.

WHEN IS THE FLAMENGO VS GRÊMIO MATCH?

The match between Flamengo and Grêmio takes place at 4pm (Brasília time) this Sunday (31) at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will provide detailed coverage of the match with on-site reporting by Leo José and Rodrigo Lima on YouTube. Finally, Rede Globo (free-to-air) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the clash, valid for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão.
