Five-time Copa do Brasil champion Flamengo returned to training on Tuesday afternoon (12), at Ninho do Urubu, focusing on preparing to face Atlético-MG again. This time, the match will be valid for the 33rd round of the Brasileirão and takes place this Wednesday (13), at 20 pm, at Maracanã.
Coach Filipe Luís led the only pre-match tactical drill and made adjustments to the squad that will take the field. Players Léo Ortiz, Gerson, and Varela, called up for the qualifiers; Erick Pulgar, De La Cruz, Carlinhos, and Arrascaeta, who were handed over to the medical department; and Allan, suspended for a red card, are out of the game.
Striker Gabriel Barbosa will not be included in the squad for the match, following an announcement from the club. The decision aims to maintain the harmony of the red-and-black squad after their significant fifth Copa do Brasil title and to give coach Filipe Luís, the coaching staff, and staff peace of mind to continue their work and pursuit of victories in the Brazilian Championship.
