Everything is ready for another important match! Flamengo held its last training session at Ninho do Urubu on Wednesday afternoon (14) before the match against Bolívar, which will be played tomorrow (15) at 21:30 pm at Maracanã. The match is the first leg of the round of XNUMX of the Conmebol Libertadores.

With some players missing for the match, coach Tite led a tactical exercise to determine the starting lineup. The red-black manager will be without players Everton Cebolinha and Viña. Both were injured in last Sunday's (11) game against Palmeiras.

The CRF reported that athlete Everton Cebolinha underwent surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon in his left ankle. The procedure was performed at CopaStar Hospital by Dr. Verônica Vianna, accompanied by Dr. Márcio Tannure, Flamengo's health and high performance manager.

The new addition is expected to be Nigerian Shola, who will likely be named in the professional squad for the first time. He plays on the left side of the field and could be an alternative substitute later in the game.

Flamengo has faced Bolivian teams in Rio de Janeiro eight times, all in the Copa Libertadores. They have won seven and drawn one (2-2 Bolívar in 2014, Maracanã). Of these eight matches, seven were at Maracanã and one at Nilton Santos.

Transmission
ESPN and Disney+ will broadcast the match live exclusively. FlaTV and FlaTV+ will be live from 18 PM (FlaTV+) for the pre-game. When kickoff begins at 21:30 PM, the broadcast will be in audio format with commentary and commentary by all Flamengo fans.
