Flamengo is going through a delicate moment due to important absences in the squad and needed to act quickly in the transfer market to make up for these gaps. The urgency caused the technical committee to accelerate the integration of new players into the starting lineup, a different strategy to that adopted at the beginning of the season.
Among the new reinforcements who have already been registered for the Libertadores are Alcaraz, Plata and Alex Sandro. These players were included as the three permitted changes for this stage of the tournament. With Michael's injury, he will only be able to be used if the CRF advances to the semi-finals.
For the decisive game against Peñarol, scheduled for this Thursday (19), Alex Sandro and Plata take over the starting lineup. Alex Sandro will take Ayrton Lucas's place at left-back, while Plata was chosen to replace Pedro and Luiz Araújo, both injured. With these changes, Bruno Henrique will be moved to play as a center forward.
It is worth noting that Alex Sandro has experience in continental competitions, being Libertadores champion in 2011, when he played for Santos. In that campaign, he participated in 11 matches, starting two of them.

Check it out:
