After a good period playing and standing out in the U-20s, Lorran is once again among the Flamengo main squad. The 17-year-old midfielder is on Filipe Luís' list for the team's next match, marking his return to the main group after almost four months away from the call-ups.
The last time Lorran was called up to the professional team was on January 30th. Since then, the midfielder has been through a series of behind-the-scenes moves. He even had advanced talks about a possible transfer to CSKA, in Russia, but the negotiations ended up not moving forward.
With the transfer window ending without an agreement, Lorran was relegated to the U-20 team. There, he became one of the team's key players, with consistent performances and direct involvement in goals and offensive plays. His performance was enough to put his name back on the radar of the red-black coaching staff.
The return to the list of players indicated that the coaching staff led by Filipe Luís is closely monitoring the performance of the promising young players, even amidst strong competition in the main squad. Lorran has been treated internally as an important asset to the club. The move may also be related to Flamengo's need to manage the squad during this period of the season, with games in a row and physical fatigue of some athletes. Lorran's presence gives the creative sector another option.
Despite his young age, Lorran has already gained significant experience in the first team. In 2023, he was integrated into the professional squad and participated in matches under Jorge Sampaoli. His refined technique and reading of the game have always caught the eye in training and youth matches. The club sees the youngster as having a lot of potential, but is also cautious. Since his contract renewal, Flamengo has adopted a strategy of gradual development for the midfielder, avoiding excessive exposure.

Coach Filipe Luís will be backed by Carrascal , who recently registered with the CBF's BID and is already in the squad for the match . The Colombian is expected to gain playing time throughout the match. Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araújo, who were rested midweek to manage their fitness levels, also return and are available.
Jorginho is serving an automatic suspension after receiving his third yellow card . Danilo (right thigh injury), De La Cruz (left knee problem) and Erick Pulgar (recovering from foot surgery) remain out.
Flamengo arrives at the last round of the first half with a chance of winning the symbolic title . To do so, they need to beat Mirassol and hope that Cruzeiro doesn't defeat Santos by a large score on Sunday (10), at Mineirão.
FLAMENGO: Rossi; Royal, Leo Ortiz, Leo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Allan, Evertton Araújo and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo (Plata), Pedro (Bruno Henrique) and Samuel Lino.

Mirassol will make just one change to the starting lineup to face Flamengo this Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. Leão defends a three-month unbeaten run in the match, while Mengão seeks to remain in the lead.
After serving a suspension in the victory over Vasco, left-back Reinaldo returns to the team, taking Felipe Jonatan's place . Leão's top scorer in the Brasileirão, the number 6 has seven goals in the competition and is the team's official penalty taker.
Mirassol's likely lineup is : Walter; Lucas Ramon, João Victor, Jemmes and Reinaldo; Neto Moura, Danielzinho and Gabriel; Negueba, Edson Carioca and Chico da Costa.
The main absence will be coach Rafael Guanaes , suspended for a third yellow card . Without the manager, assistant Ivan Baitello will be on the sidelines for the club's debut at Maracanã. Guanaes' team hasn't been defeated since May 5th, when they lost to Red Bull Bragantino.
In the medical department, defender Da Silva is out, although he didn't play for the team in 2024—his last appearance was for the B team last season. On the other hand, defender Luiz Otávio, a regular starter in 2024, left the medical department but hasn't yet played this year due to successive injuries.
Leão is in 5th place in the Brasileirão, with 28 points, and is looking to score points to remain in the G6. If they beat Flamengo this Saturday and Bahia stumbles against Fluminense, Mirassol will finish the round in the G4 , those who qualify directly for the group stage of the Libertadores.

Flamengo ended, this Friday (8), at Ninho do Urubu, the preparation for the duel against Mirassol , scheduled for this Saturday, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The match is valid for the last round of the first round of the Brazilian Championship .
Coach Filipe Luís should send onto the field a Flamengo with: Rossi; Royal, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Allan, Evertton Araújo and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo (Plata), Pedro (Bruno Henrique) and Samuel Lino.
Coach Filipe Luís will be without Jorginho, suspended for his third yellow card. However, he will have important reinforcements . Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique, who were on training due to pain and fatigue, trained normally in recent days and are available again. The former competes for a spot with Plata, while the latter can play as a false nine.
Another return is Michael, who has recovered from a left ankle injury but is expected to start on the bench. Midfielder Carrascal, the latest addition to the squad, could also make his debut, likely coming on in the second half .
For Jorginho's spot, Allan and Evertton Araújo are expected to form the defensive midfield duo . Varela, who previously played as a makeshift midfielder under Filipe Luís, is a potential outsider. Pulgar, De la Cruz, and Danilo remain in the injury department.
Flamengo, the leader of the Brasileirão with 37 points, has the same number of points as second-place Cruzeiro , but has played a game less. Mirassol, meanwhile, is the surprise package: it sits in fifth place with 28 points, just one point behind Bahia, which rounds out the top four.
