Flamengo visits Juventude with absences and needing to break a historic taboo

After two weeks without matches due to the FIFA break, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (14). Filipe Luís' team faces Juventude at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. For the match, the Most Beloved has six confirmed absences.

In summary, Jorginho and Varela were unable to recover in time from a thigh discomfort and pubalgia, respectively. As a result, both are out of the match against Juventude this Sunday (14).

Additionally, Flamengo will not have Léo Ortiz available. That’s because the number 3 will serve an automatic suspension due to accumulation of yellow cards. Meanwhile, Bruno Henrique is undergoing load management established by the Medical Department.

Finally, Alex Sandro is still treating a calf injury, while Erick Pulgar continues his recovery schedule after surgery on the fifth metatarsal of his right foot. The midfielder’s injury, in fact, has been progressing well and the bone has already consolidated.

Finally, the Flamengo vs Juventude match will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video, via streaming. Coluna do Fla TV, on the other hand, will cover the post-match details, such as the press conference with coach Filipe Luís, on YouTube.

What is Flamengo’s position in the standings?
