Flamengo continues its preparations to face Atlético-MG this Wednesday (06), in the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. After losing 1-0 in the first match, Mengão needs a win to stay ‘alive’ in the hunt for the national title. With this in mind, coach Filipe Luís could have two reinforcements to face the rival: Cebolinha and Michael.
This is because Cebolinha and Michael both took part in Flamengo’s training session as usual this Monday (04), at CT Ninho do Urubu. It’s worth noting that the number 11 was recovering from muscle tendinitis, while the ‘little robot’ had been experiencing pain in his left ankle.
Everton Cebolinha has been away from the pitch since July 20, in the 1-0 win over Fluminense. The number 11 was on the bench for the match against Atlético-MG in the Brasileirão, but did not take the field. On the other hand, Michael’s last appearance for Flamengo was on June 24, in the 1-1 draw with Los Angeles FC (USA), in the Club World Cup.
The fourth reinforcement for Flamengo this transfer window, Jorge Carrascal was officially presented this Monday (04) at CT Ninho do Urubu. Although he is already training with the squad, the Colombian cannot make his debut against Atlético-MG this Wednesday (06). This is because the midfielder has not yet been registered in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID).
With the possible inclusion of Cebolinha and Michael, Flamengo faces Atlético-MG this Wednesday (06). The classic will take place at 7pm (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, in the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media.
