Flamengo takes the field this Thursday (26) to decide the Recopa Sudamericana against Lanús (ARG). For this decisive match, coach Filipe Luís already knows he will be without one player: midfielder Saúl Ñíguez.
Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Pulgar, Paquetá and Arrascaeta; Carrascal (Luiz Araújo or Plata), Cebolinha (Lino) and Pedro.
Filipe Luís will have almost full strength for the title-deciding game. This is because, in addition to having Plata back, who served a suspension in the first leg, the coach also gains important reinforcements for the decision.
Jorginho, Bruno Henrique, and Wallace Yan have been cleared by the medical department and are available for the coach. In other words, Filipe Luís will have a reinforced squad to seek a comeback and win the trophy.
The only confirmed absence for Flamengo is Saúl Ñíguez. The Spanish midfielder remains out as he recovers from surgery on his left ankle.
Flamengo faces Lanús at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday (26) at Maracanã, for the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. It's worth noting that the Rubro-Negro lost the first leg 1-0. Therefore, they need to win by two or more goals to become champions. Additionally, a draw on aggregate will take the decision to penalties.
ESPN (cable TV) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the match. Meanwhile, Coluna do Fla will provide complete real-time coverage, with minute-by-minute updates on the website, social media updates, and on YouTube. Additionally, the reporting team will be at Maracanã to closely follow and bring all the details of the match.
