DOES FLAMENGO HAVE ANY ABSENCES?

It is worth mentioning that coach Leonardo Jardim will not be able to count on Erick Pulgar and Jorginho, who are starters and form the holding midfield duo. That is because the midfielders are currently under the care of the club’s medical department.

On the other hand, Jorge Carrascal is suspended after being judged by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD). As a result, the Colombian midfielder received a two-match suspension and will not face Bahia in the Brazilian Championship.
