Leonardo Jardim picks side for Flamengo v Bahia on Saturday; likely XI | OneFootball

Flamengo will hold its penultimate training session before the Brasileirão match this Saturday (18)

After the euphoria of the big win over Independiente Medellín (COL) in the Libertadores, Flamengo turns its focus back to the Brasileirão. This Sunday (19), the Rubro-Negro side faces Bahia in the Brasileirão. Before that, on the eve of the match, at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), Leonardo Jardim will lead the penultimate training session and define the team during practice at Ninho do Urubu.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S PROBABLE LINEUP FOR THE MATCH AGAINST BAHIA?

Agustín Rossi, Guillermo Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Evertton Araújo, Lucas Paquetá (De La Cruz) and Arrascaeta; Samuel Lino, Gonzalo Plata (Lucas Paquetá) and Pedro.

In this Saturday’s training session (18), Leonardo Jardim will not have Erick Pulgar and Jorginho with the group. The Chilean is still undergoing treatment for an injury to the acromioclavicular joint in his right shoulder. The Italo-Brazilian, meanwhile, is still feeling muscle pain in his left calf.

Another confirmed absentee for the match against Bahia is Colombian Jorge Carrascal. After all, the midfielder was sent off against Bahia in the last round of the Brasileirão. For that reason, the player will serve an automatic suspension. In addition, he will also miss three more matches due to a penalty imposed by the STJD in a ruling handed down this week.

WHEN WILL FLAMENGO’S LAST TRAINING SESSION BE?

After Saturday’s training session (18), Flamengo will still have a session on Sunday (19), at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), the so-called “activation,” which has been held since coach Leonardo Jardim arrived. The session is usually quick and is meant to give the players’ muscles a kind of ‘wake-up call’ on matchday.

WHEN WILL FLAMENGO VS BAHIA TAKE PLACE, AFTER ALL?

Considered a ‘six-pointer,’ Flamengo and Bahia will face off starting at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in the 12th round of the Brasileirão. The ball will roll at the Maracanã, and Coluna do Fla will be at the stadium to bring all the information on the clash between two teams that have 20 points in the standings.
