This Wednesday (06), Fla returns to the field to continue its campaign in the Copa do Brasil. First of all, the Most Beloved faces Atlético-MG at Arena MRV. The match, which is the second leg of the tournament’s round of 16, kicks off at 7 PM (Brasília time). So, check out the details about Flamengo’s game today.
In short, to face Atlético-MG, Filipe Luís has eight confirmed absences. That’s because Erick Pulgar (right foot surgery), De La Cruz (knee), Danilo (right thigh), Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique (load management) are all under the care of the Medical Department.
In addition, Michael and Victor Hugo are out of the Flamengo match by Filipe Luís’ technical decision. Rounding out the absences, Jorge Carrascal, who was not registered in time for the Copa do Brasil, is also unavailable to the red-and-black team against Atlético-MG.
It’s important to highlight that, just like in the first leg, Flamengo will have Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, and Samuel Lino available. Shirt number 16 is even expected to start the match in the starting lineup. On the other hand, the midfielder and the full-back are expected to be on the bench. Additionally, Arrascaeta also strengthens Filipe Luís’ team after missing the first match.
On the other hand, Atlético-MG has three absences for the game against Flamengo. Thus, Patrick (lower back), Cadu (right knee), and Caio Maia (right knee) are coach Cuca’s absences for the match against Flamengo. Furthermore, the Minas Gerais team will have the return of Guilherme Arana and Dudu.
Remember that Flamengo is at a disadvantage in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. That’s because, in the first leg, at Maracanã, the Most Beloved lost to Atlético-MG, 1-0. As a result, now, the Red-and-Black needs to beat the Minas Gerais team at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte, by at least two goals. If they win by one goal, the decision goes to penalties.
Finally, the match between Flamengo and Atlético-MG will be broadcast live on SporTV, a subscription channel, as well as on Premiere, via pay-per-view. Coluna do Fla TV, on the other hand, will cover all the post-match details, such as coach Filipe Luís’ press conference, on YouTube.
