Aiming for the clash against Atlético-GO This Sunday (28), Flamengo only trains on Saturday for Tite to decide who the starting team will be.

Despite the short time, Tite had two important comebacks: Pulgar and Wesley. The midfielder had missed the last round due to gastroenteritis, while the full-back had problems with his left thigh.
Bruno Henrique, on the other hand, is still recovering from the injury he suffered to his right ankle. Undergoing more conservative treatment due to the previous problems he faced, the number 27 has not even started the transition phase to the pitch and is out of the duel on Sunday (28).
Flamengo's probable lineup: Rossi, Varela (Wesley), Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira and Viña; Allan (Pulgar), De la Cruz, Arrascaeta and Gerson; Cebolinha and Pedro.
