Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (13th) to face Internacional in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16. For the match, coach Filipe Luís decided to 'exclude' a piece from the offensive system. It is Michael.
Hours before the match between Flamengo and Internacional, the club released the list of players. In the announcement, Michael's name did not appear. According to the report by Coluna do Fla, the player's absence from the match is due to a decision by coach Filipe Luís.
It's important to note that Michael had missed some Flamengo games due to an injury to his left ankle. However, even after recovering from the pain in the area, the forward has not yet returned to the rubro-negro squad for the matches.
