Flamengo returns to action this Sunday (26) to face Atlético-MG in the 13th round of the Brasileirão. So, before the Rubro-Negro squad traveled to Belo Horizonte, coach Leonardo Jardim released Mengão’s squad list.
Alex Sandro, Andrew, Ayrton Lucas, Bruno Henrique, Danilo, Arrascaeta, Dyogo Alves, Royal, Cebolinha, Evertton Araújo, Varela, Jorginho, Luiz Araujo, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Luiz Felipe, Pedro, Plata, Rossi, Lino, Saúl, Vitao and Wallace Yan.
Yes! Flamengo has four confirmed absences for the match against Atlético-MG. Lucas Paquetá is recovering from edema in his left thigh, while Erick Pulgar is being treated for an injury to his right shoulder. Finally, Jorge Carrascal is serving a suspension handed down by the STJD, and De La Cruz was rested because of the synthetic pitch.
After resting some players in the 2-1 win over Vitória in the first leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil, Leonardo Jardim is expected to field his ‘strongest possible lineup’ against Atlético-MG. So, Fla’s likely starting 11 is as follows: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Evertton Araújo, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Plata, Pedro and Bruno Henrique.
At the moment, Flamengo sits in second place in the Brasileirão with 23 points. It is worth noting, however, that Mengão has one game in hand compared to Palmeiras, the league leader. Atlético-MG, on the other hand, is in 12th place with 14 points.
The interstate derby between Flamengo and Atlético-MG takes place this Sunday (26), in the 13th round of the Brasileirão. Thus, the ball starts rolling at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Arena MRV in Belo Horizonte.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Atlético-MG through YouTube, the website and social media. However, SporTV (cable TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
