Flamengo and Cusco (PER) face off this Wednesday (08), in Peru

The journey toward a fifth Copa Libertadores de América title is about to begin! This Wednesday (08), Flamengo visits Cusco (PER) at the 3,400-meter altitude of Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega. For the clash, Rubro-Negro coach Leonardo Jardim has named Mengão as follows.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S LINEUP FOR THE MATCH AGAINST CUSCO?

Starters: Agustín Rossi; Emerson Royal, Danilo, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Evertton Araújo, De La Cruz, Lucas Paquetá; Gonzalo Plata, Carrascal and Bruno Henrique

Substitutes: Andrew, Dyogo Alves, Varela, Léo Ortiz, Vitão, Luiz Felipe, Arrascaeta, Guilherme, Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino, Pedro and Wallace Yan

For the match, Leonardo Jardim will not be able to count on his starting pair of holding midfielders. That is because Erick Pulgar and Jorginho are under the care of the medical department and did not even travel to Cusco. Also unavailable due to injury are Alex Sandro, Saúl and Everton Cebolinha.

On the other hand, Flamengo does have Nico De La Cruz available. The midfielder, who missed matches for both the Uruguay national team and Mengão last year in high-altitude locations, is in Cusco for the 2026 Copa Libertadores de América opener.

The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (08) for Cusco vs Flamengo. Coluna do Fla is in Peru to follow every step of the match and will show the interviews after the clash, valid for the first round of Group A of the Copa Libertadores de América.

On television, the clash will be broadcast by Globo to almost all of Brazil, except São Paulo, Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul, which will get Junior Barranquilla (COL) vs Palmeiras instead.
