Flamengo ready for Racing clash, probable line-up revealed | OneFootball

This Tuesday, at the Defensa Y Justicia training center, Flamengo concluded its preparation to face Racing in the second leg of the Libertadores semifinals. The teams will meet this Wednesday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Presidente Perón Stadium.

In the photos released by the Rubro-Negro, the squad was seen doing muscle warm-up exercises. Afterwards, they went to the field for the final adjustments before the match.

Flamengo aims to maintain the 1-0 victory achieved at Maracanã. In case of a draw or another win, the team from Rio secures a spot in the tournament's grand final. A loss by up to one goal difference takes the match to a penalty shootout, while a defeat by two or more goals eliminates the Brazilian team.

For the decision, Filipe Luís will not be able to count on forward Pedro, who suffered a forearm fracture during the first leg. The team will have strikers Wallace Yan and Juninho available; however, the coach has opted to use Bruno Henrique or Gonzalo Plata.

On the other hand, Léo Ortiz, who did not travel with the rest of the squad to face Fortaleza, reinforces the Rubro-Negro. The defender had suffered an ankle injury against Palmeiras last week and, although he was listed, he did not play in the first leg against Racing. Alex Sandro, Pulgar, Carrascal, and De la Cruz are also back in the lineup.

Thus, a probable Flamengo lineup is: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz (Danilo), Léo Pereira, and Alex Sandro; Jorginho, Pulgar, and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Bruno Henrique (Plata), and Carrascal.
