WHAT ARE FILIPE LUÍS' OPTIONS?

Flamengo has some options to replace Arrascaeta against Internacional. Jorge Carrascal and Saúl Ñíguez are the midfielders who can play the role of the number 10. In addition, coach Filipe Luís has already lined up Luis Araújo and Gonzalo Plata in the position, playing as improvisers. Finally, the coach may have the return of Nicolás De La Cruz.

WHY IS ARRASCAETA OUT?

Arrascaeta will have to serve an automatic suspension in the first leg against Internacional. In the last round of the Libertadores, in the 1-0 victory over Deportivo Táchira (VEN), the Uruguayan was 'hanging' and received the third yellow card, after trying to 'dig' a penalty. Thus, the midfielder will only be able to face the Gauchos in the return match.

HOW IS ARRASCAETA IN THE 2025 SEASON?

Coach Filipe Luís will have to 'break his head' to find a substitute for Arrascaeta. After all, the midfielder is Flamengo's top scorer in the 2025 season, with 14 goals, in addition to nine assists. In addition, the number 10 is the second player with the most goals in the Brazilian Championship, with ten goals.

WHEN DO FLAMENGO AND INTERNACIONAL FACE EACH OTHER?

Without Arrascaeta, Flamengo faces Internacional on Wednesday (13), in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16. The ball rolls at 21h30 (Brasília time), at the Maracanã. Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through the website, YouTube, and social networks.
