Brasileirão: Arrascaeta could miss Flamengo v Cruzeiro clash, here’s why | OneFootball

What Could Happen to Arrascaeta Before the Flamengo vs Cruzeiro Match?

Flamengo will take the field soon against Corinthians, but also needs to keep an eye on the next Brasileirão match, against Cruzeiro. That's because if Arrascaeta receives a yellow card this Sunday (28), he will be out for the ‘decisive’ match on Thursday (02).

Arrascaeta is ‘on the brink’ in the Brasileirão, meaning he already has two yellow cards. So, if the Uruguayan is booked in the upcoming match, he will have to serve an automatic suspension in the game against Cruzeiro, which takes place on Thursday (02), at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

WILL ARRASCAETA PLAY IN THE FLAMENGO VS CORINTHIANS MATCH?

It’s important to note that Arrascaeta is still a question mark for the upcoming match. That’s because Flamengo’s number 10 was one of the players who suffered the most fatigue after the game against Estudiantes (ARG), for the Libertadores.

Given this situation, the tendency is for Filipe Luís to field an alternative lineup this Sunday (28). As a result, Arrascaeta is expected to give up his spot to Carrascal in Flamengo’s midfield.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE ANY OTHER PLAYERS ON THE BRINK?

Yes! Besides Arrascaeta, Léo Pereira and Allan are also on the brink. In other words, if they also receive a yellow card in the next match, these players will be unavailable for the game against Cruzeiro.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S PROBABLE LINEUP FOR THE MATCH AGAINST CORINTHIANS?

Rossi; Royal, Danilo, Léo Ortiz (Léo Pereira), Viña; De la Cruz, Allan (Jorginho), Arrascaeta (Carrascal); Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino (Cebolinha) and Bruno Henrique (Pedro).

WHEN DOES THE FLAMENGO VS CORINTHIANS MATCH TAKE PLACE?

The match between Flamengo and Corinthians is scheduled for 8:30 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (28), at Neo Química Arena. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV will show the match details on YouTube. Finally, Record (broadcast TV), Cazé TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will also broadcast the match.
