Leonardo Jardim has selection doubts for Flamengo v Vitória; likely XI | OneFootball

Flamengo face Vitória in the first leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil

This Wednesday (22), Flamengo return to the pitch to face Vitória in the first leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. For the match, Leonardo Jardim has a few doubts from defense to Flamengo’s attack.

What is Flamengo’s likely lineup?

Rossi (Andrew); Royal, Danilo, Vitão and Ayrton Lucas; Evertton Araújo, Jorginho (Saúl) and De la Cruz; Luiz Araújo, Cebolinha (Wallace Yan) and Bruno Henrique.

Who is Flamengo missing?

At the moment, Flamengo have three absences. Erick Pulgar is being treated for an injury to the acromioclavicular joint in his right shoulder, while Lucas Paquetá is recovering from swelling in the tendon of his left thigh. Finally, Jorge Carrascal is suspended.

Will Flamengo have reinforcements?

On the other hand, Flamengo should have a major boost for the match against Vitória. That is because Jorginho took part in the latest training sessions with the Flamengo squad at Ninho do Urubu. Therefore, it will be up to Leonardo Jardim to decide whether he will include the midfielder in the squad for the Copa do Brasil opener.

And what are Jardim’s doubts?

Despite the ‘doubt,’ the tendency is for Jorginho to be included in the squad. In fact, according to GE, there is a possibility the midfielder could start against Vitória. This is one of coach Leonardo Jardim’s doubts, as he is deciding between the No. 21 and Saúl.

In addition to midfield, Leonardo Jardim could also send goalkeeper Andrew onto the field so that Rossi can rest after the run of matches in the Brasileirão and the Libertadores. It is worth noting that the Brazilian goalkeeper is the only one who has not yet played under the Portuguese manager.

Finally, Leonardo Jardim’s other doubt is in Flamengo’s attack. That is because the Portuguese coach could field Wallace Yan in place of Everton Cebolinha. Bruno Henrique, on the other hand, is expected to play as center forward instead of Pedro.

What are the match and broadcast details?

In short, Flamengo and Vitória will play the first leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil starting at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Thursday (22). The match will take place at the Maracanã. The return leg, meanwhile, will be on May 14 at Barradão in Salvador.

It is worth noting that the match between Flamengo and Vitória will be broadcast live on Premiere via pay-per-view and on SporTV on subscription TV. Finally, Coluna do Fla TV, on YouTube, will follow every detail of the match from pregame to postgame.
