Arrascaeta ruled out of Flamengo’s next Libertadores match | OneFootball

Flamengo faces Internacional this Wednesday (13th)

Flamengo is preparing to face Internacional this Wednesday (13th), in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores. For the match, coach Filipe Luís already knows he will not be able to count on an important player from the squad: Arrascaeta.

In short, the number 10 received his third yellow card in Flamengo's last Flamengo match in the Libertadores. On that occasion, on May 28th, the Red and Black defeated the Venezuelan team 1-0. However, now, Arrascaeta will have to serve a suspension against Internacional.

Who will replace Arrascaeta?

It is important to highlight that, if he is fit to play, De La Cruz will be an important piece in Flamengo's midfield. This is because, with the number of injuries and absences in the squad, some players have faced a long sequence of games. These are the cases of Jorginho, Allan, and Evertton Araújo, for example. In addition, it is worth mentioning that Jorge Carrascal could be one of the options for the red and black coach.

Thus, it is worth noting that Filipe Luís will define the starting lineup to face Internacional, in the Libertadores, during Tuesday's (12th) training session. This is because it is in the squad's final practice that the Flamengo coach determines what the red and black lineup will be.

What are the match details?

Flamengo's next match will take place on Wednesday (13th), against Internacional. The ball will roll from 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores. The clash will be broadcast by Rede Globo on free-to-air TV.
