Paquetá set for new role in Flamengo v Cusco match | OneFootball

What position could Paquetá play in Flamengo vs Cusco (PER)?

Leonardo Jardim has a number of absences for Flamengo’s match against Cusco (PER) this Wednesday (08) in the Libertadores. For this reason, Lucas Paquetá could be used in a new role under the Portuguese coach.

Lucas Paquetá is expected to play as Flamengo’s second defensive midfielder against Cusco this Wednesday (08). That is because Erick Pulgar, Saúl and Jorginho are out of the match due to injury.

Therefore, coach Leonardo Jardim has few options to put together Flamengo’s midfield pair. Evertton Araújo, who has been getting regular opportunities under the Portuguese manager, is expected to form the midfield duo alongside Paquetá.

Does Flamengo have more absences?

Yes! Flamengo will also be without Cebolinha and Alex Sandro for the match against Cusco. The forward has a rib fracture, while the left back is recovering from a muscle injury.

What time is Flamengo vs Cusco?

Flamengo’s match against Cusco is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. Brasília time this Wednesday (08), in Peru. The game, which marks Flamengo’s debut in the Libertadores, will be broadcast by Rede Globo on free-to-air TV and by GETV on YouTube.
