Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (23), when they face Red Bull Bragantino, in a match valid for the 16th round of the Brasileirão. The ball rolls at 9:30 pm (Brasília time). For the away game, coach Filipe Luís has outlined the starting team with Bruno Henrique back in the attack.
Rossi; Wesley, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Varela; Evertton Araújo, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Everton Cebolinha (Wallace Yan) and Bruno Henrique.
In summary, on the side, even amid negotiations with Roma (ITA), Wesley should be the starter on the right. With this, Guillermo Varela can be improvised again on the left. In addition, Léo Pereira, returns to defense in place of Danilo, who started the classic against Fluminense among the 11, but ended up injured.
It is also worth noting that, in midfield, Filipe Luís should line up Evertton Araújo in place of Allan. This is because, the number 19 is out of the Most Beloved, as he is undergoing load control due to a plantar fasciitis in his right foot. In the attack, the doubt is between Pedro, Everton Cebolinha or Wallace Yan.
Yes! Flamengo visits Red Bull Bragantino with eight confirmed absences. This is because, Erick Pulgar is still recovering from surgery on his right foot. In addition, Alex Sandro (left thigh), Ayrton Lucas (left shin), Michael (left ankle), Plata (right thigh) and Danilo (right thigh) are in the Medical Department. Finally, De La Cruz and Allan are undergoing load control determined by the DM and Fla's technical commission.
Despite the absences, coach Filipe Luís will have an important reinforcement in the attack of Flamengo for the match against Red Bull Bragantino. This is because, Bruno Henrique, who served a suspension against Fluminense due to an accumulation of yellow cards, is available for the team this Wednesday (23).
Currently, in the Brasileirão, Flamengo is the vice-leader, with 30 points and one game less than Cruzeiro. The first place, however, is the team from Minas Gerais, with 33. In the 16th round of the Brasileirão, Leonardo Jardim's team faces Corinthians. For Fla to reassume the lead, they need to win and hope for a defeat of the team from Belo Horizonte.
In summary, Flamengo and Red Bull Bragantino dispute the 16th round of the Brasileirão starting at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) this Wednesday (23). The confrontation takes place at Cícero de Souza Marques Stadium, with live broadcast from Rede Globo, on open TV, and from Premiere, on pay-per-view.
