Palmeiras has three absences to face Flamengo

The Brasileirão will feature one of the most important matches of the championship this Sunday (19). That’s because Flamengo and Palmeiras will face off at Maracanã, for the 29th round of the national tournament. The coach of the São Paulo team, Abel Ferreira, has outlined the probable lineup of the club with Andreas Pereira.

What is the probable lineup for Palmeiras?

Carlos Miguel; Giay (Khellven), Gustavo Gómez, Murilo (Fuchs) and Piquerez; Aníbal Moreno, Andreas Pereira, Felipe Anderson and Raphael Veiga (Maurício); Flaco López and Vitor Roque.

How is Palmeiras coming into the match?

Palmeiras’ undisputed starter, Weverton, will not be available to Abel Ferreira, as he suffered a fracture in his hand. In addition, Lucas Evangelista is recovering from a thigh injury, while Paulinho continues his recovery schedule after leg surgery.

Besides these absences, Palmeiras is also on alert regarding the situation of five players: Murilo, Piquerez, Aníbal Moreno, Andreas Pereira, and Facundo Torres. These athletes have accumulated two yellow cards in the Brasileirão and, if they are booked against Flamengo, they will have to serve a suspension in the next round.

And what about Flamengo?

Flamengo, on the other hand, has its ‘full strength’ for the match. The only absence for Mengão is Cebolinha, who is recovering from a hip injury. Thus, Filipe Luís has outlined the probable lineup with the following names: Rossi; Emerson Royal, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Erick Pulgar, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino and Pedro.

When do Flamengo and Palmeiras face each other?

The interstate classic between Flamengo and Palmeiras takes place this Sunday (19). The match kicks off at 4pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air channel), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs Palmeiras match.
