This Sunday (11/08), Flamengo is preparing to face Palmeiras at 4pm, at Maracanã, for 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The confrontation is crucial for Mais Querido, who is also aware of an important issue involving their players.
O Flamengo enters the field with two concerns related to cards. Erick Pulgar and Léo Ortiz are hanging with two yellow cards in the Brasileirão. Erick Pulgar, who should be a starter, and Léo Ortiz are at risk of being suspended if they receive a yellow card in the duel against Palmeiras. This could leave them out of the next classic against Botafogo.
Flamengo's next game in the Brazilian Championship is scheduled for Sunday of the following week (18/08), at 6:30 pm, at the Nilton Santos Stadium , where they will face Botafogo.
Flamengo's probable lineup for the clash of Sunday includes: Rossi, Wesley, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas, Pulgar, De La Cruz, Arrascaeta, Cebolinha and Pedro. Jorge Sampaoli's team seeks to maintain competitiveness and guarantee an essential victory for the championship sequence.
In turn, Palmeiras is also preparing with a possible mixed formation: Weverton; Gómez, Murilo and Vitor Reis; Giay, Richard Ríos, Raphael Veiga and Vanderlan; Mauricio, Dudu and López. Abel Ferreira should use this strategy to deal with absences and prepare the team for the important game at Maracanã.

Check it out:
"The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that the athlete Gabriel Barbosa underwent tests that did not diagnose an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh.

Gabi is handed over to physiotherapists and physical trainers for the series of decisive games of the season."
