Flamengo and Ceará face off this Sunday (03), in a match valid for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship. While the Most Beloved seeks to stay at the top of the tournament, the black-and-white club is trying to recover in the competition. Thus, Léo Condé’s team promises to face the Rubro-Negro with ‘full strength’.
Bruno Ferreira; Fabiano Souza, Marcos Victor, Willian Machado, and Matheus Bahia; Richardson, Dieguinho, and Lourenço; Pedro Henrique, Galeano, and Pedro Raul.
It’s worth noting that coach Léo Condé will not have defender Luiz Otávio for the match against Flamengo. That’s because the defender has been sidelined since October 2024 due to a serious knee injury. Thus, at this moment, the player is already in the physical reconditioning phase and is working to recover and be available for Ceará.
In addition to Luiz Otávio’s absence, Ceará is on alert regarding the situation of seven players who are ‘on notice’ with two yellow cards. They are: Bruno Ferreira, Willian Machado, Fabiano Souza, Dieguinho, Aylon, Galeano, and Pedro Henrique. Therefore, if they receive a yellow card this Sunday (03), these athletes will miss the next round of the Brasileirão, against Palmeiras.
Flamengo currently occupies the top spot in the Brazilian Championship, with 36 points. Right behind, Cruzeiro is in second place with 34, but has played one more game than Mengão. On the other hand, Ceará sits in tenth place on the table, with 21 points.
The clash between Flamengo and Ceará takes place this Sunday (03), for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball gets rolling for the match between the Rio and Ceará teams at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão. As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage of the match, through their website and social media.
