Leonardo Jardim chooses Léo Pereira stand-in for Flamengo v Estudiantes | OneFootball

Which player took Léo Pereira’s spot in Flamengo’s match against Estudiantes (ARG)?

Flamengo has already announced its lineup for the clash with Estudiantes (ARG), in the third round of the Libertadores group stage. For the match, which kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Wednesday (29), in La Plata, Argentina, head coach Leonardo Jardim chose Vitão to replace Léo Pereira.

One of the key players in Flamengo’s defensive system, Léo Pereira is out of tonight’s match. The number 4 is absent because the player needed stitches in his left shin after the game against Atlético-MG on Sunday (26). As a result, Mengão’s number 4 did not even travel to Argentina.

As a result, Danilo will form the center-back pairing with Vitão against Estudiantes. Based on the players used in recent matches, the Rubro-Negro will have an alternative center-back duo. That means the experienced defender will play on the right, while the club’s first signing of the 2026 season will play on the left.

Agustín Rossi, Emerson Royal, Danilo, Vitão and Alex Sandro; Evertton Araújo, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Samuel Lino, Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique.
