The Flamengo continues to raise doubts about his lineup, especially in relation to Gabigol's participation and the choice of Ortiz or Pulgar in midfield. Striker Gabigol, who is a key player in the team's attack, was not part of the starting team in training on Sunday, participating in only part of the activity, which raises questions about his physical condition or the strategic options of the coaching staff.
In the next clash against Peñarol, in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, coach Jorge Sampaoli must face the doubt between Léo Ortiz and Erick Pulgar to complete the midfield sector. This choice can directly influence the way the team will behave defensively, in addition to impacting the transition between defense and attack. Pulgar, with a more defensive style of play, could be a more conservative choice, while Ortiz, a native defender, can also play in the middle, offering a more versatile option for contention.

Based on the latest training and information obtained, Flamengo must enter the field with the following lineup: Rossi in goal; Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro forming the defensive line; in midfield, the doubt between Léo Ortiz or Pulgar, along with De La Cruz and Arrascaeta, two creative players with good ball handling ability. In attack, the team should count on Gerson, who has been acting in a more advanced manner, almost like an attacking midfielder, in addition to Bruno Henrique and Plata, completing the offensive trio.
Gabigol's absence in training complete generates discussions about the attacker's physical condition. It is not uncommon for players to be spared part of training to avoid burnout or injuries, especially in weeks of decisive games. However, his complete absence from the starting lineup suggests that he may not be 100% physically, or may be being held back for later in the match.
Gabigol, one of the most important scorers in Flamengo's recent history , is a central piece in the team's offensive scheme, known for his intense movement and decision-making capacity at crucial moments. If he is indeed not selected as a starter, it would represent a significant change in the way Flamengo attacks, with Gerson possibly taking on more creative and offensive responsibilities.
