This Wednesday (08), Flamengo play their second preseason friendly in Portugal, against Lausanne Sport (SUI). So, check out the likely lineups for the Rubro-Negro side and the Swiss team, who face off starting at 4:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
In short, it is important to remember that Flamengo have ten confirmed absences for the match against Lausanne Sport. They are: Léo Ortiz, who is recovering from a thigh injury, in addition to the internationals who are still returning from the World Cup: Plata, Arrascaeta, Varela, De la Cruz, Paquetá, Léo Pereira, Danilo, Alex Sandro and Carrascal.
In short, Flamengo opened their preseason in Portugal with a 2-2 draw against River Plate (ARG) last Friday (03). For the Rubro-Negro side, Samuel Lino and Bruno Henrique scored the goals. Now, the club is looking to fine-tune formations and test tactical alternatives before wrapping up their time in Europe.
With this string of absences, Leonardo Jardim has been using the preseason in Portugal to take a closer look at Flamengo’s academy youngsters and assess the backups during the team’s preparation period. That is because the main objective is to get the players match-fit for the return of the Brasileirão and for the rest of the Copa Libertadores campaign.
Lausanne Sport, meanwhile, finished the 2025-2026 season inconsistently, alternating good moments in the Conference League with struggles in the Super League. Now, the Swiss team’s main new development is Slovenian coach Luka Elsner, who was hired in June.
It is worth noting that, in April, Lausanne Sport dismissed German coach Peter Zeidler and finished the domestic league with an interim duo in charge (Markus Neumayr and Migjen Basha). Now, coach Luka Elsner is using the match against Flamengo to prepare for the challenge at Lausanne Sport.
It is worth highlighting that Flamengo vs Lausanne Sport will be broadcast live on Band, on free-to-air TV. In addition, SporTV (subscription channel), Premiere (pay-per-view) and Bandplay (streaming) will also show the friendly.
