Internacional receives Flamengo this Sunday (17) at Beira-Rio, at 18:30, for the 20th round of the Brasileirão, but will have to deal with important absences. This is because, in addition to the suspended and injured players, the Gauchos are thinking about the Libertadores against the same Rubro-Negro in the middle of the week.
Therefore, coach Roger Machado will not have the suspended Bruno Tabata, nor the injured Carbonero, Mercado, Ivan, Bruno Gomes, and Lucca Drummond. The players Enner Valencia, Aguirre, Wesley, Vitinho, and Clayton Sampaio are playing with a yellow card. Therefore, they risk suspension in the next Brasileirão game if they receive another yellow card against Flamengo.
Therefore, Roger Machado is likely to line up the team as follows: Rochet; Alan Benítez, Clayton Sampaio, Victor Gabriel, and Bernabei; Luis Otávio, Bruno Henrique, Gustavo Prado, and Vitinho; Borré and Valencia.
Thus, the starters Alan Patrick, Vitão, Wesley, and Thiago Maia will start on the bench.
At the moment, Flamengo occupies the first position in the Brasileirão, with 40 points. In total, there are 12 wins, four draws, and two defeats. On the other hand, Internacional is in 12th position, with six wins, six draws, and the same number of defeats.
