Flamengo returns to the field on the evening of this Wednesday (11), when they face Cruzeiro, for the fifth round of the Brasileirão. For the match, coach Leonardo Jardim outlined the red-black lineup, with Lucas Paquetá among the starters.
Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Pulgar, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Lucas Paquetá, Samuel Lino and Pedro.
So far, Leonardo Jardim has two main doubts in Flamengo's lineup. This is because Jorge Carrascal might appear in place of Lucas Paquetá, while Everton Cebolinha could start instead of Samuel Lino.
Currently, Flamengo has two confirmed absences for the game against Cruzeiro. They are: Bruno Henrique, who is recovering from a pubalgia, and Saúl, who underwent heel surgery at the beginning of the season.
In summary, Flamengo and Cruzeiro face each other starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), this Wednesday (11). The match takes place at Maracanã, with live broadcast by Rede Globo, on open TV for almost all of Brazil.
Additionally, the match between Flamengo and Cruzeiro will be shown by GETV, on YouTube, and Premiere, through pay-per-view. Finally, Coluna do Fla follows all the details of the match from pre to post-game, directly from Maracanã.
