Flamengo hopes to count on the return of midfielder De La Cruz next Sunday (11) in a match against Palmeiras for the Brazilian Championship. The player was absent in the recent Copa do Brasil duel, but there is an internal expectation that he will be available for the important clash at the weekend. The presence of De La Cruz could be a decisive factor for Flamengo's performance, as they seek to consolidate themselves in the top positions of the Brasileirão table.

De La Cruz, known for his skill and ability to creating plays, is considered a fundamental part of the team. His absence in the Copa do Brasil was felt, but the coaching staff is optimistic about his recovery in time for Sunday's game. The match against Palmeiras is seen as crucial for Flamengo's hopes in the competition, and De La Cruz's return could strengthen the team's midfield, increasing the chances of a good performance.

FLAMENGO HAS YOUR POSITION POE DE LA CRUZ


In addition to the possible return of De La Cruz, the Flamengo is also preparing to face a strong and traditional opponent in the Brazilian football scene. Palmeiras, which is also competing for the top positions in the table, promises to be a difficult challenge, demanding the best performance from the red and black squad. Flamengo's technical team has been working intensely in training, adjusting the strategy and preparing the team to face the rival at full strength.


Behind the scenes, there is an atmosphere of expectation and confidence in De La Cruz's recovery. The club's medical department has been closely monitoring the player's progress, who has been following a strict recovery regime. Fans are also eager for the midfielder's return, recognizing his importance in coach Jorge Sampaoli's tactical scheme. De La Cruz's presence on the field could bring more creativity and dynamism to Flamengo's attack, which seeks to consolidate itself as one of the main candidates for the Brasileirão title.

This Monday (16), Flamengo officially informed Luiz Araújo's injury, which occurred in the classic against Vasco last Sunday (15). The striker was injured and, after examinations, the club's medical department confirmed the severity of the injury. With this, the player is out of the important clash against Peñarol in the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores.

Mengão returns to the field this Thursday (19), at 7pm, at Maracanã, to face Peñarol in the first game of the Libertadores quarter-finals. The Brazilian team is looking for a good result at home to take advantage in the second leg, which will be played at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium, in Montevideo, on September 26th.



< p>IMPORTANT RETURNS AND CHANGES IN THE CAST

For the match against Peñarol, the coach will count on the return of De la Cruz, recovered from injury, and the return of Ayrton Lucas to the left side. Furthermore, Gonzalo Plata will be Luiz Araújo's replacement in the attack, seeking to strengthen the red and black offensive.

Mais Querido's probable lineup for the decisive clash should include: Rossi; Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Erick Pulgar, De La Cruz and Gerson; Arrascaeta, Bruno Henrique and Gonzalo Plata. The team is going through adjustments, but the intention is to guarantee a positive result at home to reach the return game in Uruguay more calmly.



UNFAVORABLE HISTORY AGAINST PEÑAROL

Despite the fans' expectations, the recent history between Flamengo and Peñarol does not favor Rubro-Negro. The teams have already faced each other six times, with four victories for the Uruguayans, one draw and only one victory for Mengão. The last meeting was in the 2019 Libertadores group stage, when Flamengo lost 1-0 at Maracanã and drew goalless in Montevideo.
