Flamengo player battles for final Brazil spot at the World Cup | OneFootball

Which Flamengo player is competing for a spot in the World Cup?

Ancelotti still has some doubts regarding a few midfield options for the Brazilian National Team for the World Cup. Lucas Paquetá, from Flamengo, is in the running for a place in the tournament.

Despite being left out of the most recent Brazil squad call-up, Lucas Paquetá still enjoys a great deal of prestige with Ancelotti’s staff. However, the midfielder faces competition from players who stood out in recent matches, such as Danilo of Botafogo.

Will Lucas Paquetá be available for Flamengo against Bragantino?

Lucas Paquetá, therefore, will need to deliver strong performances in Flamengo’s upcoming matches to secure a spot in the World Cup. It is worth noting that the midfielder will be available for the Rubro-Negro against Bragantino this Thursday (02).

Paquetá trained normally with the Flamengo squad in recent days and is ready to face Bragantino in the Brasileirão. In fact, the expectation is that the midfielder will be in the starting lineup, just as he was against Corinthians in the previous round of the Brazilian Championship.

What time is the Flamengo vs. Bragantino match?

Flamengo return to the pitch on Thursday (02) against Red Bull Bragantino, away from home, in the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with live coverage on Rede Globo on free-to-air TV and on Premiere via pay-per-view.
