After beating Fluminense last Sunday, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (23) to face Red Bull Bragantino, in a match valid for the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship. The confrontation takes place at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) , at the Nabi Abi Chedid Stadium, in Bragança Paulista.


BRUNO HENRIQUE RETURNS AND FILIPE LUÍS TESTS NEW OPTIONS


The good news for Flamengo is the return of Bruno Henrique , who served an automatic suspension in the previous round . The striker is available again and can play on both the wings and inside, bringing versatility to the attack.


With so many absences, but also the return of BH27, the likely lineup for the duel in Bragança has : Rossi; Wesley, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Varela; Evertton Araújo, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Everton Cebolinha and Bruno Henrique.

Wesley , who missed the derby against Fluminense, is expected to return to the starting lineup, despite negotiations with Roma. In attack, Pedro, who scored the goal against Fluminense , is also expected to be included in the squad and could start.


Shortfalls make planning difficult

Coach Filipe Luís will face the challenge of assembling his team amid a long list of absences. In defense, Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas remain sidelined since the match against São Paulo. Michael, with ankle pain, also remains under medical care.

In midfield, Allan was rested due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot and is undergoing load control work. De la Cruz, amid recent controversy, is still treating a knee problem. The Uruguayan's situation has become a hot topic of debate after leaked messages from the head of the medical department.

The list of absences continues with Danilo, who suffered a right thigh injury after the Clásico , and Gonzalo Plata, still out due to muscle discomfort. Erick Pulgar, who underwent surgery on his right foot, is also recovering.

The European transfer window has been closed since early August, but Flamengo almost saw another former player play in the Premier League . Manchester United made an official offer for goalkeeper Kauã Santos , but it was unsuccessful.


According to the German newspaper Bild Sport, the English club was turned down by Eintracht Frankfurt , who set a price of 25 million euros (approximately R$156.3 million) to release the player . As the request was considered high, the English club abandoned the deal and opted to sign Belgian Senne Lammens, formerly of Royal Antwerp.


UNITED IN PROBLEMS


The goalkeeper position has been one of Manchester United's biggest challenges. After David de Gea's decline in performance, the Red Devils invested heavily in the position, with the most notable signing being André Onana , but they never managed to secure the expected return from the Cameroonian.

FLAMENGO'S PARTICIPATION


Kauã Santos left Flamengo in August 2023, when he was sold to Frankfurt for €1.6 million (approximately R$8.4 million at the time) in a deal that involved 70% of his economic rights. Flamengo still holds 30% and could profit from a future transfer.

FOCUS ON THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP

While following the movements in the European market from afar, Flamengo remains focused on its commitments for the season. The team returns to the field this Sunday (28), against Corinthians, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Neo Química Arena, for the Brazilian Championship.
