This Thursday (02), Fla faces Cruzeiro at Maracanã. The match, valid for the 26th round of the Brasileirão, kicks off at 8:30 PM (Brasília time). So, check out the details about Flamengo’s game today.
In summary, to face Cruzeiro, Filipe Luís has only one confirmed absence. Thus, Erick Pulgar, who is still recovering from surgery on his right foot, will not be available for Flamengo this Thursday (02).
Besides the absences, Flamengo has four players at risk of suspension with two yellow cards each. They are: Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Allan, and Arrascaeta. Therefore, if these players receive a third yellow card against Cruzeiro, they will miss the 27th round match against Bahia.
