Flamengo confirm two absentees and two doubts for Vitória Copa do Brasil second leg

Flamengo travel to Vitória on Thursday for the Copa do Brasil fifth-round second leg with two confirmed absences and two fitness doubts.

According to Coluna Do Fla, Lucas Paquetá is ruled out with an oedema in the tendon of his left thigh, while Arrascaeta remains unavailable as he continues post-surgery recovery on his right clavicle.

Erick Pulgar remains a doubt despite returning to on-field training after a shoulder dislocation. Plata is also in question after leaving midway through the second half against Grêmio with muscle pain.

Head coach Leonardo Jardim is awaiting fresh medical assessments before deciding whether to include the pair in his squad.

Kick-off is at 21:30 Brasília time at Barradão. Flamengo need only a draw to reach the round of 16 after winning the first leg 2-1.
