Pulgar will have to serve an automatic suspension against Corinthians

Flamengo defeated Remo 3-0 this Thursday (19th) at Maracanã, in the Brazilian Championship. However, the red-and-black team will have a major absence in the next match against Corinthians: Erick Pulgar, who is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Erick Pulgar received his third yellow card in the 26th minute of the match against Remo, at Maracanã. Thus, the Chilean midfielder will have to serve an automatic suspension in the clash against Corinthians, on Sunday (22nd), away from home.

HOW IMPORTANT IS PULGAR?

Since joining Flamengo, Erick Pulgar has been an undisputed starter for the team. The Chilean midfielder, who started the season under Filipe Luís and is now coached by Leonardo Jardim, has played in 14 matches. Mengo has played 18 games. In other words, the player has appeared in 77% of them.

WHO CAN FLAMENGO USE?

Without Erick Pulgar, Leonardo Jardim will have to make changes to the Flamengo team against Corinthians. The Portuguese coach may use Evertton Araújo, a young player from the red-and-black youth system, who plays the same defensive role at the edge of the box.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO VS CORINTHIANS?

Without Erick Pulgar, Flamengo will play again next Sunday (22nd), against Corinthians, at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, for the eighth round of the Brasileirão. In this way, Coluna do Fla brings you all the information about the match.
