Copa do Brasil: Filipe Luís names Flamengo XI for Atlético-MG clash | OneFootball

Flamengo and Atlético-MG face off in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil Round of 16

Flamengo returns to the field on Thursday (31), when they take on Atlético-MG. Therefore, this Wednesday (30), Filipe Luís will lead the squad’s final training session before the first leg of the Copa do Brasil Round of 16. In addition, the coach will decide the starting lineup for the match at Maracanã.

Initially, Filipe Luís’s idea is to rest some players. However, if he chooses to repeat the lineup that faced Atlético-MG in the Brasileirão, the lineup would be: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Viña; Allan, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Bruno Henrique, Plata and Pedro. However, the final lineup will still be decided during Wednesday afternoon’s training session (30).

What are the details of Flamengo’s last training session?

In short, according to Flamengo’s schedule, the red-and-black squad will begin their final activity before the first leg of the Copa do Brasil Round of 16 with a training session on Wednesday afternoon (30). The training is set to start at 3:30 pm (Brasília time), at Ninho do Urubu.

Thus, at the training center, Filipe Luís will decide the starting lineup for Flamengo to face Atlético-MG. It’s worth noting that, despite the likely lineup mentioned above, the red-and-black coach may field a different team. That’s because, as previously stated, the final training session will determine the starting eleven.
