Flamengo continues to prepare to face Atlético-MG this Wednesday (06), in the return match of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. After losing 1-0 in the first game, Mengão needs to win to stay alive in the pursuit of the national title. Weighing this, coach Filipe Luís may have two reinforcements to face the rival: Cebolinha and Michael.
This is because Cebolinha and Michael normally participated in Flamengo's training sessions on Monday (04), at the CT Ninho do Urubu. It's worth remembering that the number 11 shirt was recovering from a muscle tendinitis, while the 'robozinho' presented pain in his left ankle.
Everton Cebolinha has been away from the fields since July 20, in the 1-0 victory over Fluminense. The number 11 shirt was on the bench in the game against Atlético-MG, for the Brasileirão, but did not enter the field. On the other hand, Michael's last confrontation with the Flamengo shirt was on June 24, in the 1-1 draw with Los Angeles FC (USA), for the Club World Cup.
Flamengo's fourth reinforcement in this window, Jorge Carrascal was officially presented on Monday (04), at the CT Ninho do Urubu. Despite already being in training with the squad, the Colombian cannot make his debut against Atlético-MG this Wednesday (06). This is because the midfielder has not been regularized in the Boletim Informativo Diário (BID).
With the possible return of Cebolinha and Michael, Flamengo faces Atlético-MG this Wednesday (06). The classic takes place at 19h (Brasília time), at the Arena MRV, in the return match of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social networks.
