Flamengo have one confirmed absentee and two doubts for the match against Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (20)

Looking to secure a spot in the round of 16 of the Libertadores, Flamengo host Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (20) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in the fifth round of the group stage. For the match, coach Leonardo Jardim will have two important players available: Jorginho and Evertton Araújo.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S LIKELY LINEUP?

Rossi; Royal, Léo Ortiz, Vitão and Ayrton Lucas; Evertton Araújo, Jorginho and Carrascal; Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino and Bruno Henrique.

The main news among the squad involves defensive midfielders Jorginho and Evertton Araújo, who return to strengthen the team after serving suspensions against Athletico-PR in the Brasileirão. At the same time, the trend suggests Leonardo Jardim will keep the tactical setup from the club’s most recent ‘Cup’ matches, without Pedro in the starting lineup.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE ABSENTEES AND DOUBTS?

Coach Leonardo Jardim has only one confirmed absentee for the match against Estudiantes: midfielder Arrascaeta, who is still recovering from collarbone surgery. On the other hand, the coaching staff still have two doubts when naming the team: Pulgar and Plata.

Initially, the Ecuadorian missed the last two matches due to a knee knock, while the Chilean has been recovering from a right shoulder injury since April. Because of this, the medical department will reassess both players this Wednesday (20) to determine who will be fit to play.

WHAT TIME IS FLAMENGO vs ESTUDIANTES?

Flamengo face Estudiantes at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Wednesday (20) at the Maracanã, in the fifth round of the Libertadores. At the moment, the Rubro-Negro sit top of Group A. In other words, if they take all three points at home, they will secure a place in the round of 16 with one match to spare.
