Coritiba will have three absences in the game against Flamengo. The two teams meet this Sunday (20), in Paraná, for the 20th round of the Brasileirão, now for the second round of the championship. The team is preparing to face the red-black and already had a training session this Friday morning (18).


This Friday's training is the third in a series of five activities prepared by coach Thiago Kosloski. He has been studying some changes in his team, which has many fewer player options than Mais Querido. One of the evaluated exchanges is the entry of Bruno Gomes in the vacancy of Matheus Bianqui. The midfielder, who is the first starter in the midfield, returns from suspension.


Fransérgio and Sebastian Gómez should continue with their positions in the middle. The last switch should be on the left side. Jamerson is also back from suspension and regains the position of Victor Luis, who got the third booking. The technical commission has been evaluating and creating options for variations for the attack, since it will not have a single more advanced reference person on the field. However, the system should be maintained for Sunday.


Diogo Barbosa did not participate in training because he had the flu. However, he doesn't worry Kosloski and is still expected to play at the weekend. In the medical department, on the other hand, there are Jean Pedro and Boschilia who will not play. In addition to them, Thiago Dombroski should also be mentioned. He doesn't have any injuries, but because he's almost done with a Belgian team, he should be out.

Alert! Flamengo has a player suspended for the match against Estudiantes.

The full-back has a yellow card and, if he receives another punishment at the Maracanã, he will be out of the decisive clash in Argentina in the quarterfinals.

Flamengo takes to the field this Thursday (18) , at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), to face Estudiantes at Maracanã for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. In addition to the weight of the confrontation, coach Filipe Luís needs to manage an extra concern: right-back Guillermo Varela is suspended and could become an important absence for the return leg , scheduled for September 25, at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, in La Plata.


After resting some starters over the weekend, Filipe Luís will have reinforcements for the match. Varela, Bruno Henrique, and Léo Ortiz return after absences against Juventude , increasing the team's strength. Meanwhile, Alex Sandro and Jorginho are doubtful and will have their fitness assessed hours before the game.

The Argentine team reaches the quarterfinals after defeating Cerro Porteño 1-0 on aggregate.
