Recopa: Filipe Luís names Flamengo XI for Lanús clash training | OneFootball

Flamengo and Lanús (ARG) face off in the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana

Flamengo returns to the fight for their second Recopa Sudamericana title this Thursday (26). With a focus on the second leg against Lanús (ARG), Filipe Luís will decide the starting lineup during training held on Wednesday afternoon (25).

Initially, the probable lineup for Flamengo is as follows: Rossi; Varela, Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz and Alex Sandro; Pulgar, Arrascaeta and Lucas Paquetá; Carrascal, Everton Cebolinha and Pedro. However, the team will still be decided during Wednesday’s training session (18).

Thus, at Ninho do Urubu, Filipe Luís will define the starting lineup for Flamengo that will face Lanús in a training session scheduled for 3:30 pm (local time). It’s worth noting that, despite the probable lineup mentioned above, the red-and-black coach may field a different team.

Does Flamengo have any absences?

Yes! So far, Flamengo has one confirmed absence. That is Saúl, who is still recovering from ankle surgery performed at the beginning of the year. On the other hand, the Most Beloved may have some reinforcements for the match.

What are Fla’s possible reinforcements?

In summary, Jorginho may be available for the second leg against Lanús. Wednesday’s training session (25) will be decisive in determining the midfielder’s situation, as he has missed Flamengo’s recent matches.

Additionally, Wallace Yan could also return to the field for Flamengo this Thursday (26). After missing the last three matches, the forward is undergoing physical reconditioning. Finally, Bruno Henrique has experienced pain in the pubic area, but may play through it due to the importance of the match against Lanús.

What is Flamengo’s situation?

It’s worth remembering that Flamengo lost the first leg 1-0. Therefore, now, the team led by Filipe Luís needs to win the second leg by at least one goal to take the decision to penalties.

On the other hand, if Flamengo wins by two or more goals, they will become the Recopa Sudamericana 2026 champions, securing their second title. In 2020, the Most Beloved lifted the trophy under the command of Jorge Jesus.

What are the match and broadcast details?

This Thursday (26), Flamengo and Lanús will play the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. The match will take place at Maracanã, starting at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), with live broadcast on ESPN (subscription channel) and Disney+ (streaming).
