Rubro-Negro is going through a crucial moment in the current edition of the Copa Libertadores

This Wednesday, May 15th, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), Flamengo faces Bolívar at the Maracanã Stadium, in Rio de Janeiro. The match is valid for the fifth round of group E of the Copa Libertadores. Check out the likely lineups and absences for Mengão, who need to win to stay in the fight for qualification for the knockout stage of the continental competition.

Rubro-Negro is going through a crucial moment in the current edition of the World Cup Liberators. With two defeats, a draw and just one victory, Flamengo occupies third place in the group with 4 points. It is behind Palestino, which is second-place with 6 points, and Bolívar, the current leader with 10 points.

In its most recent match, Flamengo beat Corinthians 2-0, in a game valid for the 6th round of the Brasileirão. Lorran, a young talent from Ninho do Urubu, was the highlight of the match, scoring the goal that guaranteed Flamengo's victory against São Paulo.

Flamengo faces uncertainty about the participation of two of its main players, Pedro and Arrascaeta, due to physical problems. The team awaits this week's training to assess the condition of the center forward and midfielder, whose presence could be decisive for the team's performance.
