Flamengo takes to the field this Sunday (17) to face Internacional, in the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match kicks off at 18:30 (Brasília time) at Beira-Rio. For the confrontation, coach Filipe Luís has the return of Arrascaeta.
Rossi, Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira (Cleiton) and Ayrton Lucas (Alex Sandro); Jorginho, Allan and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino (Cebolinha) and Pedro.
Arrascaeta returns to be at the disposal of coach Filipe Luís, after missing Flamengo's 1-0 win over Internacional in the Libertadores. This is because the Uruguayan had to serve an automatic suspension after accumulating three yellow cards. Now, the number 10 returns to the fields with the Sacred Mantle.
Flamengo, so far, has one confirmed absence to face Internacional. This is because Erick Pulgar is still recovering from a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot. On the other hand, the coach has some doubts for the Brazilian Championship game.
This is because De La Cruz no longer presents pain in his left knee and, therefore, should return to the disposal of coach Filipe Luís. At the same time, defender Danilo has already started working on the field after suffering a muscle injury in his right thigh. Finally, lateral Emerson Royal had a sprained ankle, with a considered mild stretch.
Flamengo currently occupies the leadership of the Brazilian Championship, with 40 points won. Right behind, Cruzeiro appears in second place, with 37, but has one more game in relation to Mengão. On the other hand, Internacional figures in 12th place in the table, with 24 points.
The match between Flamengo and Internacional takes place this Sunday (17), in the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship.
