0Flamengo is going through a delicate moment due to important absences in the squad and needed to act quickly in the transfer market to make up for these gaps. The urgency caused the technical committee to accelerate the integration of new players into the starting lineup, a different strategy to that adopted at the beginning of the season.
Among the new reinforcements who have already been registered for the Libertadores are Alcaraz, Plata and Alex Sandro. These players were included as the three permitted changes for this stage of the tournament. With Michael's injury, he will only be able to be used if CRF advances to the semi-finals.
The Ecuadorian striker had a good game in the Rio derby last Sunday. In addition to playing on the right wing, the young man proved to be versatile when playing on both sides of the field, having the freedom to explore speed and dribbling. In this way, he managed to once again establish his presence in the starting team with the absence of Luiz Araújo and Pedro.
Flamengo, led by Tite, should enter the field with: Rossi; Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Pulgar, De La Cruz, Gerson and Arrascaeta; Plata and Bruno Henrique.
