Evertton Araújo eyes chance as Flamengo take on Bragantino | OneFootball

Flamengo faces Red Bull Bragantino in the 16th round of the Brasileirão

Flamengo takes to the field this Wednesday (23), when they face Red Bull Bragantino, in the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship. Thinking about the match, coach Filipe Luís has a 'doubt' in midfield, as Erick Pulgar and Allan are out of the game. Thus, Evertton Araújo awaits a new opportunity from the red-black commander.

WHAT IS THE PROBABLE LINEUP OF FLAMENGO?

Rossi; Wesley, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Varela; Evertton Araújo, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Everton Cebolinha (Wallace Yan) and Bruno Henrique.

This is because Erick Pulgar is still recovering from a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, while Allan is controlling the load due to a case of plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Thus, Evertton Araújo expects to form the defensive midfield duo alongside Jorginho. It is worth noting that, in the professional squad, the young player is the only one who can play in the position, as De La Cruz is also out of the game.

DID EVERTON ARAÚJO PLAY AGAINST FLUMINENSE?

Despite starting the classic against Fluminense on the bench last Sunday (20), Evertton Araújo entered the field in the 37th minute of the second half, in Allan's place. Even with little playing time in the match, the young defensive midfielder received strong praise from coach Filipe Luís.

WHAT IS EVERTTON ARAÚJO'S TRAJECTORY AT FLAMENGO?

Evertton Araújo was promoted to Flamengo's professional team in the 2024 season. Thus, under the command of coach Tite, the young player received many opportunities on the field, consolidating himself as one of the highlights of Mengão in the year. Now, with Filipe Luís at the helm of the club, the defensive midfielder continues to be one of the coach's 'xodós'. So far, the player has played in 20 games, scoring one goal.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO TAKE THE FIELD?

With Evertton Araújo available, Flamengo faces Bragantino this Wednesday (23), in the 16th round of the Brasileirão. The match takes place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Estádio Cicero de Souza Marques, in Bragança Paulista. Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the most rubro-negra coverage on the internet, through the website and social networks.
