Vitória lost two players for the clash with Flamengo in the first leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. That is because Renato Kayzer and Gabriel Baralhas picked up injuries in the match against Corinthians last Saturday (18), and as a result, they are confirmed absences for this Wednesday (22).
Renato Kayzer suffered an injury to the front muscle of his right thigh. The forward underwent medical tests, which diagnosed a mild bruise in the area. Even so, the player will miss Vitória’s match against Flamengo.
Baralhas’ situation is different. After his exams were evaluated by Vitória’s Medical Department, the midfielder was diagnosed with a thigh injury, which will keep him off the pitch for a period of time.
Besides Kayzer and Baralhas, Vitória also has a number of other absences. First, Claudinho, Riccieli, Marinho, and Pedro Henrique are in the transition process. Meanwhile, Mateus Silva, Jamerson, Neris, Camutanga, Edu, Rúben Ismael, Dudu, and Fabri are injured.
Flamengo have three confirmed absences for the match against Vitória. First are Erick Pulgar and Carrascal, who are recovering from injuries and are also serving suspensions handed down by the STJD. Lucas Paquetá is also unavailable, as the academy product is dealing with swelling in his left thigh. Finally, Jorginho is a doubt, as he is still undergoing treatment for a calf issue.
The match between Flamengo and Vitória takes place at 9:30 PM Brasília time this Wednesday (22), at the Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the clash on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media. Finally, SporTV (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.
