Filipe Luís names Flamengo XI for Atlético-MG clash in training | OneFootball

Flamengo Holds Training Session on Saturday Morning (26) at CT Ninho do Urubu

Countdown to another round of the Brazilian Championship. On Saturday morning (26), Flamengo held their last training session before facing Atlético-MG in the 17th round of the national tournament. Therefore, during the activities, Filipe Luís will define the starting lineup for the crucial match on Sunday (27) at Maracanã.

With two days of preparation, Flamengo has the game against Atlético-MG as an opportunity to return to the top of the Brazilian Championship. According to the schedule released by the club, Filipe Luís will lead the activities on Saturday morning (26).

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S PROBABLE LINEUP?

Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, and Viña; Allan, Jorginho, and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Bruno Henrique, and Plata (Pedro).

Allan is expected to regain his spot in the lineup, replacing Evertton Araújo, despite Filipe Luís' praise for the young player after the match against RB Bragantino. In the attack, Plata is competing with Pedro, who returned to the starting lineup in the last game. The main novelty could be Viña: the Uruguayan left-back played well in the 2-1 victory on Wednesday (23) and has a chance to earn his first start after ten months out with a knee injury. On the right, with Wesley's departure to Roma (ITA), Varela takes over the position.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE ANY ABSENCES?

Meanwhile, Pulgar (fracture in the fifth metatarsal), Alex Sandro (muscle injury in the left thigh), Ayrton Lucas (deep cut on the left leg), Michael (pain in the left ankle), and Danilo (muscle injury in the right thigh) remain in the Medical Department. On the other hand, the club released De la Cruz to spend the weekend with his family in Uruguay, after the controversy involving the club's former medical director, José Luiz Runco.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO VS ATLÉTICO-MG TAKE PLACE?
