This Monday morning (9), Flamengo continued its preparations to face Bahia, in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. The match will be played next Thursday (12), at 21:45 pm, at Maracanã. It is worth remembering that Mais Querido won in Salvador by 1 to 0 and will have the advantage of a draw to advance to the semifinals of the competition.

Coach Tite conducted tactical work with the players to determine the starting eleven for the match. The red-and-black manager welcomed back Gabi and Arrascaeta. Both have recovered from their muscle injuries and trained on the field.

Meanwhile, Uruguayan De La Cruz continues to work out in the gym to recover from a hamstring injury in his right thigh. Meanwhile, Gerson, Varela, Fabrício Bruno, and Erick Pulgar are on international duty for World Cup qualifying matches.

After training, striker Gonzalo Plata was presented at Ninho do Urubu and will wear the number 45 shirt. The Ecuadorian will be available for the classic against Vasco, on Sunday (15), and could make his debut with the Mengão shirt.
