Flamengo faces another challenge in the Brazilian Championship this Sunday (27), in a match against Atlético-MG at Maracanã, at 8:30 PM (Brasília time). The red-and-black team continues to have several players in the medical department, a situation that also affects the team from Minas Gerais, which arrives with five absences and four players at risk of suspension for the match.
Therefore, coach Cuca cannot count on Lyanco, who is serving an automatic suspension, Guilherme Arana and Patrick, who are in the Medical Department, and Dudu, who was punished by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD). However, Atlético-MG may have the return of Allan Franco and also the debut of Biel, recently signed.
Among those at risk of suspension for Atlético-MG are right-back Guilherme Arana, midfielder Gustavo Scarpa, defender Junior Alonso, and midfielder Rubens.
On Flamengo's side, De La Cruz was released by the club to travel to Uruguay, while Danilo and Alex Sandro are out due to pain in the right and left thigh, respectively. Michael is absent due to a left ankle injury, Ayrton Lucas is recovering from a cut on his shin, and Pulgar is treating a foot fracture.
O Mais Querido is in second place with 33 points, one less than Cruzeiro. However, Flamengo has one game less than the leader. So, before taking the field, the Rubro-Negro will keep an eye on the result of the match between the Minas Gerais team and Ceará, which takes place from 4 PM this Sunday.
If they beat Atlético-MG and Cruzeiro does not win: they take the lead If they draw with Galo and Cruzeiro loses: they become leaders on goal difference
As for the broadcast, the match will not be shown on free-to-air TV, as Globo will be broadcasting the match between São Paulo and Fluminense. Fans can follow the match through Premiere, on the pay-per-view system. Coluna do Fla, as usual, will provide the most red-and-black on-site coverage on the internet, with reporters Léo José and Rodrigo Lima.
