Leonardo Moura, with thigh pain, has been ruled out for the match against São Paulo. Coach Ney Franco has another problem for the match against São Paulo, tomorrow at 18:10 p.m., at Morumbi Stadium. In addition to left-back Juan, who will serve an automatic suspension, the coach will also be without right-back Leonardo Moura, who is ruled out due to right thigh pain. With that, Ney confirmed that Luizinho will start in that position tomorrow. Despite the last-minute problem, the Flamengo coach said he trusts Leonardo's replacement. "We have to rely on the squad we've assembled for the season. I was already without Juan, and now I've lost Leonardo Moura too. I trust Luizinho and also Egídio, who will start on the left," commented the coach. The absences don't take away from the Flamengo coach's certainty that Flamengo can emerge victorious at Morumbi Stadium. "It will be another evenly matched Brazilian Championship match." They are two teams with tradition, but with Souza's return, we will have more strength up front and we can play a good game - analyzed Ney Franco, who has not yet confirmed the starting lineup for tomorrow.\
