Coach has not yet defined his starting defense for the Copa do Brasil clash
|
Last Saturday, Flamengo confirmed an injury to the back of the left thigh of the starting defender and coach Tite's trust, Léo Pereira. Practically untouchable, the defender is out of action, and Léo Ortiz and David Luiz are competing for the open spot.
After practically a week of training, due to the temporary stoppage of the Brazilian Championship, Tite is having time to focus on preparing for the team, which is looking to resume its good form after a period of criticism, and returns to the field in a game worth classification.
In this scenario, with the confirmed absence of Léo Pereira, Tite has two options to compose the red and black defense: Léo Ortiz and David Luiz. The two fight for the title in the third phase match of the Copa do Brasil.
It is worth noting that in the game against Bolívar, which marked Léo Pereira's injury, the one chosen by Tite to go to the field was the experienced David Luiz. On that occasion, David entered the field at 37 in the first half.
In the case of Léo Ortiz, the defender played only four games for Flamengo in 2024, two for the Libertadores (Palestino and Bolívar) and two for the Championship Brazilian (Bragantino and Corinthians). If the number 3 is chosen, the Red Bull Bragantino defense pairing will be renewed, with Fabrício Bruno.
Still in relation to the next match, against Amazonas, despite not being able to count on Léo Pereira, Tite will have the return of another fundamental player to the squad: Pulgar. The midfielder was also an absolute starter with the coach before suffering a sprain in his left ankle, in the game against Botafogo, in the Brasileirão. Back, Erick reinforces the red and black squad in search of classification.
Already thinking about Amazonas, it's worth remembering that Flamengo is the visitor in the decisive game. In the first match, played at Maracanã, Rubro-Negro had a night to forget, with a terrible collective performance, where practically only young Lorran was a positive highlight.
Despite the regrettable performance, Flamengo managed to emerge victorious and triumphed by the minimum score of 1-0. The match in question was even marked by an increase in protests against Tite and the squad, with Maracanã taken over by boos.
Now, rediscovering the path to victory and trying To return to their good form, Flamengo will go to the Arena da Amazônia to face Amazonas, in the return game of the Copa do Brasil. The match will be played on Wednesday (22), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).
Like Rubro-negro, Martial suffered from injuries in 2023/24

O Flamengo faces a delicate moment in relation to the medical department after the match against Corinthians, in which they were defeated.

Guillermo Varela, who had been playing regularly at right-back, felt discomfort during the match. The player has proven to be one of Flamengo's defensive pillars, and his absence could be a big problem, especially with the sequence of important games that the club has ahead of them. The right-back, which is already a sensitive position in the squad, could become even more fragile if Varela does not recover in time. He will undergo a complete reevaluation in the medical department as soon as he returns to Rio de Janeiro.
David Luiz, by In turn, he also left the field reporting pain. The defender, who has vast experience and plays a leadership role on and off the field, is another name that worries. The pain felt by David Luiz sparks a alert to the technical committee, which had already been monitoring his physical condition carefully, given his recent history of injuries. His possible absence would not only weaken the defensive sector, but would also represent a significant loss in the conduct of the game from the defense, one of its main characteristics.
Wesley, the young right-back, is the most worrying. He left the field limping, indicating a more serious injury than his teammates. Wesley has been one of Flamengo's revelations, showing promise and gaining important minutes on the field. His evolution was being noticed, with good performances that gained the trust of the coach and the fans. A possible more serious injury could interrupt your growth and directly impact the player's options -libertadores" target="_blank"> Flamengo on the side, especially with the doubt about Varela.
