Arrascaeta’s replacement: Filipe Luís faces dilemmas for Flamengo v Inter | OneFootball

See How Filipe Luís Is Preparing the Team for Flamengo vs Internacional

Flamengo is in the final stages of preparation for the match against Internacional, in the first leg of the Libertadores round of 16. At 3:30 PM (Brasília time) this Tuesday (12), coach Filipe Luís will lead the last training session before the clash. It will be during this session that the red-black coach will decide on Arrascaeta’s substitute, as well as possibly count on the return of some players.

One of Filipe Luís’s main doubts is about who will take Arrascaeta’s spot, as he will serve an automatic suspension against Internacional. Among the top candidates are Luiz Araújo and Saúl Ñíguez. In addition, Jorge Carrascal could also fill the Uruguayan’s role in the match.

CAN JORGE CARRASCAL PLAY IN FLAMENGO’S MATCH AGAINST INTERNACIONAL?

Yes! Carrascal has not yet debuted for Flamengo by coach Filipe Luís’s choice. However, even with little time at the club, the midfielder is already registered for the Libertadores da América. Thus, the new number 15 of Mengão is cleared to play against Internacional at Maracanã.

CAN FLAMENGO HAVE A REINFORCEMENT FOR THE MATCH AGAINST INTERNACIONAL?

In this Tuesday’s training session (12), coach Filipe Luís is keeping an eye on the situation of De La Cruz. Recovering from pain in his left knee, the Uruguayan took part in most of the training session with his teammates on Monday (11). Therefore, if he responds well this afternoon, the number 18 has a chance of being included in the squad for the first leg of the Libertadores.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

The next Flamengo match will take place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (12), at Maracanã. Coluna do Fla TV will show everything that happens during the match with live coverage by reporters Leo José and Simon Lédo, on YouTube. Finally, Rede Globo (open channel), ESPN (cable), and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the round of 16 match of the Libertadores.
