After an important victory away from home, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (27) to face Atlético-MG, at 20:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the 17th round of the Brasileirão. In the middle of the week, Rubro-Negro defeated RB Bragantino 2-1, away from home, breaking a 29-year taboo. If they beat the Minas Gerais team, Mengão can return to the top of the championship if Cruzeiro does not win their game. 

Coach Filipe Luís led the last activity on Saturday morning (26) to define the team that will enter the field. Allan and Plata participated normally in the training and can return to the team. On the other hand, Alex Sandro (left thigh), Ayrton Lucas (wound healing), Danilo (right thigh), Erick Pulgar (fifth metatarsal of the right foot) and Michael (left ankle) remain out undergoing treatment.
