Flamengo takes to the field this Wednesday (13), at Maracanã, to face Atlético-MG in the 33rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The match, which promises to be a highly competitive one, comes with important absences for Mengão, who, in addition to the players called up for the national teams, will have absences due to suspension and injury.


Among the confirmed embezzlements of Flamengo, there are four players who were called up for their selections. Defender Léo Ortiz and midfielder Gerson, called up for the Brazilian team, will not be available for coach Filipe Luís.


In addition to them , strikerGonzalo Plata, who scored the winning goal of the Copa do Brasil in the victory over Atlético-MG, will represent Ecuador, while right-back Varela will play for Uruguay. The Uruguayan team, in fact, will face Brazil in a match scheduled for next Tuesday (19), at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador.



EMSTALKS IN MIDFIELD


Another relevant absence is midfielder Allan, who was sent off in Flamengo's last game in the Brazilian Championship , against Cruzeiro, in a 1-0 victory. Allan received his second yellow card in the 49th minute of the second half and, as a result, will be absent in the match against Atlético-MG.

In addition to these, Flamengo will also be without Chilean Erick Pulgar and Uruguayan De Arrascaeta. Pulgar was cut from his squad after a muscle problem that occurred in the final against Atlético-MG, and Arrascaeta, who suffers from a meniscus problem, must undergo arthroscopy and is expected to be out until the end of the year.

Gabriel Milito will also face difficulties with absences. The team from Minas Gerais will be without its main players, such as goalkeeper Everson and defender Igor Rabello, both suspended, as well as other important athletes who could miss the team in a possible next round, if they receive a yellow card against Flamengo.

With so many absences in both teams, the duel at Maracanã becomes even more unpredictable and important for the ambitions of both clubs in the championship. While Flamengo continues to fight for the top of the table, Atlético-MG is also looking to consolidate itself at the top of the table.

Flamengo officially announced the signing of Colombian midfielder Jorge Carrascal this Thursday (31). At 27 years old, the player arrived in Rio de Janeiro after a long journey of more than 19 hours , coming from Russia, where he played for Dynamo Moscow. He is the fourth reinforcement confirmed by the club in the window, alongside Saúl, Emerson Royal and Samuel Lino.


The acquisition of Carrascal represents another step in Flamengo's ambitious project for the remainder of the season. To complete the deal with the Russian club, Flamengo paid 12 million euros— approximately R$77.5 million at the current exchange rate —in a negotiation that dragged on for weeks.


PRESENTATION TO THE FANS


This Thursday (31), the midfielder appeared at Ninho do Urubu, where he underwent medical examinations , visited the facilities at CT George Helal and met with the Technical Director of Football, José Boto. After the completion of the procedures, the player signed a contract with Flamengo.

Carrascal's official presentation was scheduled to take place at the Maracanã stadium before the Copa do Brasil round of 16 clash against Atlético-MG. The event follows the model adopted with Samuel Lino, who was also presented directly to fans in the stadium stands. However, the documentation was not released in time.


LONG AND COMPLEX NEGOTIATION

Negotiations between Flamengo and Dynamo Moscow began even before the Club World Cup , but faced obstacles before completion. The Rio de Janeiro club had to reformulate its initial proposal, adjusting amounts and payment terms, until reaching an agreement with the Russians. Although the terms were defined in early July, the transfer was only officially finalized this week.
