In the next round of the Brazilian Championship, on the 5th, Flamengo will face Bahia at Fonte Nova. However, on Sunday night (29), the opponent is Athletico-PR, at Maracanã, at 8pm (Brasília time). For this match, two Mengão players are suspended: Léo Ortiz and Carlinhos, but only Ortiz was listed for the game, as Carlinhos was sent off in the last round.

If Léo Ortiz receives a yellow card against Athletico, he will not be able to play against Bahia in Salvador next weekend. Despite the risk, coach Tite will choose to choose the defender as a starter at Maracanã. Flamengo's likely team against Athletico is: Agustín Rossi, Wesley, David Luiz, Léo Ortiz and Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, Alcaraz, Gerson and Matheus Gonçalves; Plata and Gabigol.


Léo Ortiz was also a starter in the match against Peñarol, on Thursday (26), for the Libertadores, but acted improvised as a midfielder. The player has stood out in this role since arriving at Flamengo. Now, Tite returns to select him in his original position as defender.

Likely Athletico-PR to face Flamengo

While Flamengo will make eight changes to its lineup, coach Lucho González lost midfielder Gabriel, who is suspended. Athletico-PR's possible team for the game at Maracanã is: Mycael; Léo Godoy (Madson), Kaique Rocha, Thiago Heleno and Esquivel; Erick, Christian and Zapelli; Cuello, Canobbio and Mastriani (Pablo).


Signed in 2024, Léo Ortiz has already scored a goal with the Flamengo. He contributed to Mengão's 2-0 victory over Palestino at Maracanã in the Libertadores group stage, playing as a defender.
