The ball rolls for Flamengo and Internacional starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (13), for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores of America. For the game at Maracanã, the team from Porto Alegre has five confirmed absences.

Internacional's coach, Roger Machado, knows that he will not be able to count on Mercado (right calf injury), Carbonero (left thigh injury), Ivan (left knee arthroscopy), Bruno Gomes (left knee surgery) and Lucca Drummond (right knee surgery). On the other hand, the coach will have reinforcements.

WHAT ARE THE REINFORCEMENTS FOR INTERNACIONAL?

Internacional will have important reinforcements for this Wednesday's (13) game. In defense, Aguirre returns to the team and takes over Alan Benítez's spot on the right flank, while Vitão returns to form a duo with Juninho in the defense.

In attack, Ricardo Mathias should remain as a starter. This is because, after scoring two goals against Bragantino over the weekend, the striker has gained confidence and is the favorite to continue leading the offensive sector.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE ABSENCES AND DOUBTS?

Coach Filipe Luís has three absences and one doubt. Danilo is in transition after a right thigh muscle injury, while Erick Pulgar continues to recover from right foot surgery. Meanwhile, Arrascaeta serves an automatic suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

In addition, De la Cruz appears as a doubt. After dealing with pain in his left knee, the number 18 is seeking to improve his physical condition before returning. It should be noted that the Uruguayan midfielder participated in a good part of the last two Flamengo training sessions, however, he still does not know if he will be available for Filipe Luís.
