This Sunday, Mais Querido will take the field against Athletico for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship with a mixed lineup. Due to the physical exhaustion of some athletes and with the focus on the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil, which will take place in the middle of the week, coach Tite chose to preserve part of the squad. Eight changes will be made compared to the team that played against Peñarol last Thursday, when CRF was eliminated from the Libertadores.
Gabigol, number 99, is one of the confirmed starters for the match. The striker will have a new opportunity as a starter after almost two months, repeating his role as a starter in the game against São Paulo, in August. Matheus Gonçalves, a young man who has stood out in recent matches, is also selected for the offensive sector.
Of the athletes who played against Peñarol, only Rossi, Léo Ortiz, Gerson and Plata will start this Sunday's clash. Important names such as Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, De La Cruz, Arrascaeta and Bruno Henrique will be on the bench, ready to enter if necessary.
The CRF formation will have: Rossi in goal ; Wesley, David Luiz, Léo Ortiz and Ayrton Lucas in defense; Pulgar, Alcaraz, Gerson and Matheus Gonçalves in midfield; with Plata and Gabigol forming the attacking duo.
In addition to Carlinhos' suspension, Expelled in the match against Grêmio, Tite will also be without some important players.

Forward Michael is back training at Flamengoafter a period away due to an injury to the hamstring of his right thigh. With his recovery complete, he is already participating in activities with the squad and becomes a possible option for the Rubro-Negro coach in the club's next match, this Sunday (29), against Athletico-PR, in a game valid for the Brazilian Championship. .
Michael's presence in training is already an important step forward, but his inclusion in the list of related players still depends on how he responds to the final training sessions before the match. In the coming days, the coaching staff must evaluate the athlete's physical performance and ability to perform in a high-intensity game. The caution is due to the time Michael spent away, which requires a gradual readjustment to training and the rhythm of the game to avoid new complications.
If it is really related, shirt 30 could bring an interesting offensive alternative to Flamengo. His playing style, marked by speed, dribbling and movement, offers the team a different dynamic in the attacking sector. However, it is necessary to observe how he will behave after his return, considering the need to regain confidence and rhythm after the injury.
The Flamengo coach already has in mind the squad he should use in the Sunday's match, but the possible addition of Michael to the list expands the options, especially at an important moment in the Brazilian Championship, where every point is essential to keep the team at the top of the table. Furthermore, the player's return can help make up for any absences in the attack and add value to the team's tactical system.
