Lorran could start for Flamengo v Chapecoense after pre-season form | OneFootball

Flamengo face Chapecoense this Wednesday (22), with Lorran available

Amid injuries and suspensions, Flamengo’s midfield could have Lorran in the starting lineup against Chapecoense this Wednesday (22). After all, the 20-year-old stood out in the friendlies during the break for the World Cup.

In addition, Arrascaeta returns from injury after nearly three months without playing. Carrascal is serving a suspension handed down by the STJD. The court banned him for two matches because of the red card against Palmeiras. Luiz Araújo, who often fills in as an attacking midfielder, has a left knee injury.

Is Lorran Flamengo’s only midfield option?

Besides the youngster, another standout from the friendlies could run the team against Chapecoense. For example, against Olimpia (PAR), Samuel Lino played in a playmaking role. On that occasion, the player provided three assists at Mané Garrincha.

De La Cruz has also played as a No. 10 at other points in his career. However, the Uruguayan will not play on the synthetic pitch at Arena Condá. In a similar situation, Saúl Ñíguez should be an option on the bench.

How did Lorran stand out in the friendlies?

The Ninho do Urubu academy product scored two goals against Lausanne (SUI) and Olimpia, but he also played well against River Plate (ARG). Against Benfica (POR), however, the midfielder did not come off the bench.

What is Lorran’s situation at Flamengo?

Lorran is back at Flamengo after ending his loan spell with Pisa (ITA). Upon his return, one of the club’s newly emerged academy gems is trying to ‘change course’ to earn another chance with the Rubro-Negro. So far, however, the player’s future at Mengo remains uncertain.

For now, there are no offers for the youngster to leave the Rubro-Negro squad. Bruno Henrique has even defended keeping the young player at the Most Beloved. So, the academy prospect is also trying to convince Leonardo Jardim.
