Flamengo line-up out: Pedro missing for Libertadores v Internacional | OneFootball

Flamengo and Internacional face off starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (20th)

The time has come, Nation! Flamengo takes the field at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (20th) to face Internacional in the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores da América. Coach Filipe Luís has set the lineup without Pedro in the starting eleven for the match at Beira-Rio Stadium, in Porto Alegre. See how the Most Beloved will fight for a spot in the quarterfinals of the continental tournament.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S LINEUP AGAINST INTERNACIONAL?

Starters: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Jorginho, Saúl and Arrascaeta; Samuel Lino, Gonzalo Plata and Bruno Henrique.

Substitutes: Matheus Cunha, Emerson Royal, Danilo, Ayrton Lucas, De La Cruz, Evertton Araújo, Allan, Wallace Yan, Carrascal, Everton Cebolinha, Luiz Araújo and Pedro.

The big return among the starting eleven is Alex Sandro. After all, the left-back was rested last Sunday (17th), precisely against Internacional, in the Brasileirão, and now regains his spot. Also confirmed is Arrascaeta, who served a suspension in the first leg, when Flamengo won 1-0 at Maracanã.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S ONLY ABSENCE?

Filipe Luís has almost the entire squad available, except for midfielder Erick Pulgar. The Chilean is still recovering from surgery after a fracture in his fifth metatarsal and is expected to return only in October. The number 5 last played in July, against Bayern Munich (GER), in the Club World Cup.

WHAT DOES FLAMENGO NEED TO DO TO QUALIFY?

In short, after the 1-0 win last week, Flamengo can even draw to advance in the Libertadores. Of course, if Mengão wins again, they will secure a spot in the quarterfinals. If Internacional matches the score with a one-goal difference, the match will go to penalties. The team from Rio Grande do Sul will advance without penalties if they win by two or more goals.

Thus, Internacional vs. Flamengo will be broadcast by Globo on free-to-air TV throughout Brazil. In addition, ESPN (cable channel) and Disney Plus (via streaming) will show the match. However, Coluna do Fla brings the best and most red-and-black coverage, on the website, on social media, and on YouTube.
