Flamengo is making the final adjustments to face Bahia this Sunday (19) in the 12th round of the Brasileirão. In search of all three points, coach Leonardo Jardim is expected to field the best lineup available.
Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira (Vitão), Alex Sandro; Evertton Araújo, Paquetá, Arrascaeta; Plata (Luiz Araújo), Lino and Pedro.
Coach Leonardo Jardim has three confirmed absences for the match against Bahia. Jorginho is recovering from a muscle injury in his left calf, while Pulgar is being treated for a right shoulder injury. Finally, Jorge Carrascal is suspended after being sent off against Fluminense.
In addition, Flamengo is on alert over the situation of two players: Alex Sandro and Everton Cebolinha. That is because both are one booking away from suspension with two yellow cards. In other words, if they are booked this Sunday (19), they will have to serve a suspension in the next round of the Brasileirão.
At the moment, Flamengo sits in second place in the Brasileirão, with 20 points won. In ten matches, Leonardo Jardim’s team has six wins, two draws, and two losses. In addition, Mengão has played one game fewer than Palmeiras, the league leader.
The clash between Flamengo and Bahia takes place at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (19), in the 12th round of the Brasileirão. Therefore, the match between the Rio and Bahia sides will be played at the Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Bahia through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
