FLAMENGO'S SHORTAGES


Flamengo will have significant absences for the match. Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araújo were not included due to physical stress management, a precaution taken by the medical department after a busy streak.

Given this, Filipe Luís will have to reorganize his attacking side to maintain his attacking power and secure a positive result away from home. Rubro-Negro hasn't won in two consecutive matches, against Atlético-MG and Ceará, which increases the pressure for a strong performance.
