When looking at each Flamengo line-up , fans have no doubt that they will see Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira as starters. Despite being a highly qualified defensive duo, the two have been running twice as hard due to the lack of options in this sector of the squad and today, against Grêmio, at 5:30 pm , in Porto Alegre, they should add another 90 minutes on the field.


THOSE WHO PLAYED THE MOST


This season, the starting defense figures top the list of frequency on the field. Ortiz has played in 14 games, and Pereira, in 13. Each has 13 starts, leading the team alongside Rossi in this regard. Danilo, who has not played since February, is in the squad for the game and should be an option on the bench. The medical department is still treating his situation with caution.


But no one surpasses Ortiz in terms of time on the pitch so far, with 1,198 minutes , not counting the games he played with the Brazilian national team . Pereira is third, with 1,168, two less than the Argentine goalkeeper.

In just over three months of the season, both players have accumulated superlative numbers because they do not have worthy replacements. After selling Fabrício Bruno and letting David Luiz leave at the end of his contract, Flamengo only signed Danilo. Since Pablo is not an option, the only players left are the athletes trained in the youth team, such as Cleiton and João Victor, but they are not yet ready for the challenges. To make matters worse, Danilo, 33, has been out since February 22, due to two consecutive muscle injuries in his right thigh.


RISK OF INJURY

The “short blanket” in the defense line is a risk in every game , especially due to the high number of injuries at Fla at the beginning of the season. The “Léos” have been intact, but Pereira was doubtful for the debut in the Libertadores, against Deportivo Táchira, due to a blow to his left knee in the previous game, which would complicate Filipe Luís's life a lot.
