Copa do Brasil: Filipe Luís names Flamengo XI for Atlético-MG clash | OneFootball

Flamengo and Atlético-MG face off in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16

Flamengo returns to the field on Thursday (31), when they face off against Atlético-MG. Therefore, on Wednesday (30), Filipe Luís will lead the team's last training session before the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. In addition, the coach will define the starting lineup that will start the match at Maracanã.

Initially, Filipe Luís' idea is to spare some players. However, if he wants to repeat the lineup that faced Atlético-MG in the Brasileirão, the starting lineup would be: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Viña; Allan, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Bruno Henrique, Plata and Pedro. However, the team will still be defined during the training session on Wednesday afternoon (30).

What are the details of Flamengo's last training session?

In summary, according to Flamengo's schedule, the red-black squad will begin their last activity before the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16 with a training session on Wednesday afternoon (30). The training session is scheduled to start at 3:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Ninho do Urubu.

Thus, at the CT, Filipe Luís will define the starting lineup of Flamengo that will face Atlético-MG. It is worth noting that, despite the probable starting lineup mentioned above, the red-black coach is likely to field a different team. This is because, as mentioned earlier, the last training session of the squad will define the starting lineup.
