Flamengo takes the field this Monday (02), when they face Madureira again for the second leg of the semifinals of the Carioca. For the match, coach Filipe Luís has five confirmed absences.
Firstly, Bruno Henrique is not available for Flamengo in the game against Madureira due to a pubalgia. On the other hand, Erick Pulgar felt muscle pain after the match against Lanús (ARG) and was not listed to play this Monday (02).
Additionally, Flamengo's Medical Department ruled out Jorginho from the match against Madureira due to the midfielder's physical wear in the Recopa match, as well as Léo Pereira. Lastly, Saúl is still recovering from surgery on his left heel and is not yet available for Filipe Luís.
In summary, in the first leg, Flamengo defeated Madureira 3-0. With this, the Rubro-Negro hosts the rival team with an advantage. Thus, Fla has a chance to qualify directly with two possibilities.
Firstly, if they draw or win by any score, Flamengo qualifies. Additionally, if they lose by less than three goals, the Most Beloved also advances in the Campeonato Carioca.
Moreover, if Flamengo loses by three goals, the finalist decision goes to penalties. Finally, if Fla loses by 4 or more goals, Madureira qualifies instead of the Most Beloved.
Flamengo and Madureira face off starting at 9 PM (Brasília time) this Monday (02). The match takes place at Maracanã, with live broadcast on SporTV, on the subscription channel, as well as on Premiere, on pay-per-view.
