Ayrton Lucas is set to make his Flamengo debut on Sunday, after the 24-year-old was named in the travelling squad for the Copa do Brasil date with Altos.

The left-back arrived on loan from Spartak Moscow at the end of March, but has been sidelined with metatarsal injury.

However he is now fully recovered and available to manager Paulo Sousa for the first time.

There was further good news with the inclusion of centre-back Rodrigo Caio, back in the mix after five months out due to a knee injury.

However it is unlikely that Caio will start against the Série C side in the first leg of this third round tie at the Albertão.

The Rubro-Negro will be looking to build on Thursday’s 3-2 away win over Chile’s Universidad Católica in the Copa Libertadores.
