Flamengo continues its pursuit of a fourth consecutive Libertadores title this Wednesday (13), when they face Internacional. For the first leg of the tournament's round of 16, coach Filipe Luís has absences, doubts, and also 'reinforcements'.
In short, to face Internacional, Filipe Luís has three confirmed absences. This is because Erick Pulgar (surgery on his right foot) and Danilo (right thigh), are under the care of Flamengo's Medical Department. Finally, Arrascaeta is serving a suspension due to accumulated yellow cards.
Beyond the confirmed absences, Flamengo still has a doubt for the game against Internacional. It's De La Cruz, who was treating problems in his left knee. However, according to an investigation by Coluna do Fla's reporting team, the number 18 has not yet been ruled out for the Libertadores match.
It's worth noting that, just like in the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo will have Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, Samuel Lino, and Jorge Carrascal at their disposal. The players were registered by the club in the Libertadores da América and can play against Internacional.
Finally, who broadcasts the Flamengo x Internacional game live is Rede Globo, on open TV, and Disney+, through streaming. Coluna do Fla TV, on the other hand, follows all the post-game details, such as coach Filipe Luís' press conference, on YouTube.
It's worth highlighting that Flamengo and Internacional have their rematch scheduled. Thus, the return game of the Libertadores round of 16 between the teams takes place next Wednesday (20), at the Estádio Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre.
