Flamengo trains with three defenders at Ninho

Rogério selects Welinton, Álvaro and Angelim, and in the second half of the activity, he puts Diego Maurício in

Flamengo's training session on Monday afternoon (31.05), at Ninho do Urubu, served to confirm that coach Rogério Lourenço should indeed field three defenders in Wednesday's game in São Paulo against Palmeiras. In the Rubro-Negro's penultimate match in the Brazilian Championship before the break for the World Cup, the young Welinton has a good chance of starting.

The number 23 trained as a starter in the first half of the activity, where the team was formed with a 3-6-1 and is very likely to start the match in the 11. In the second half of the training, he was replaced by striker Diego Maurício, making the team return to the traditional 4-4-2. Toró remains out due to a knee injury, Camacho and David are unable to play due to suspension and Vinícius Pacheco was rested due to neck pain.

Fernando, back after serving a suspension against Grêmio, also trained as a starter. As a result, Flamengo trained on Monday with Bruno, Welinton (Diego Maurício), Álvaro, and Ronaldo Angelim; Leonardo Moura, Maldonado, Fernando, Petkovic, Michael, and Juan; and Vagner Love. After the draw with Grêmio, Rogério had already announced that he would repeat the three-defender formation against Palmeiras.
