What is Flamengo’s lineup for the match against Lanús?

Starters: Rossi; Varela, Danilo, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, Evertton Araújo and Arrascaeta; Carrascal, Lino and Plata.

Substitutes: Andrew, Royal, Léo Ortiz, Vitão, Alex Sandro, Jorginho, De La Cruz, Paquetá, Cebolinha, Luiz Araújo, Bruno Henrique and Pedro.

What is Flamengo’s situation for the Recopa final?

The only absence for Flamengo in the match against Lanús is Saúl Ñíguez. The Spanish midfielder remains out as he recovers from surgery on his left heel. Thus, the expectation is that he will return to the pitch in March.

On the other hand, coach Filipe Luís has three reinforcements for this Thursday’s match (26th). After recovering from muscle pain, Jorginho, Wallace Yan and Bruno Henrique are available for Flamengo. However, the players will start the match on the bench.

What is the situation in the Recopa Sudamericana?

The first match of the Recopa Sudamericana took place last Thursday (26th), at Estadio Ciudad de Lanús. Thus, the Argentine team won 1-0, with a goal by Rodrigo Castillo, and took the lead in the continental competition’s final.

Therefore, Flamengo needs to win by two or more goals to be crowned Recopa Sudamericana champion. However, if Rubro-Negro wins by just one goal, the match against Lanús will go to extra time.

Where to watch Flamengo vs Lanús?

The decisive match between Flamengo and Lanús takes place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday (26th), at Maracanã. The match will be broadcast on ESPN (cable channel) and Disney+ (streaming). Meanwhile, Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage on its website, social media and YouTube.
