Flamengo is set for the match against Red Bull Bragantino this Wednesday (23), for the 16th round of the Brasileirão. For the match, coach Filipe Luís has decided to start with Pedro. Thus, the number 9 returns to the starting lineup for Mengão.
Pedro experienced tumultuous weeks behind the scenes recently and, as a result, missed two Flamengo games in the Brasileirão. However, against Fluminense, the forward was back in the squad and was responsible for scoring the winning goal for Mengão in the classic. Now, it will be the player's turn to start a match again.
