For tonight's match, coach Filipe Luís will be without five players:

Bruno Henrique

The striker will not be included in the squad for next Monday's match against Madureira due to pubalgia. He is undergoing daily treatment with the club's medical department.

Erick Thumb

Suffering from muscle pain after the match against Lanús, the player underwent an imaging exam, which did not reveal any injury. However, following the advice of the Medical Department, he will not play against Madureira on Monday.

Jorginho

Due to the high level of exertion experienced in the match where he returned from injury last Thursday, Flamengo's Medical Department has decided to rule him out of the next match against Madureira on Monday.

Leo Pereira

After playing for more than 120 minutes on Thursday against Lanús, the defender showed high levels of physical fatigue. By decision of the Medical Department, he will not be included in the squad to face Madureira on Monday. On the day of the match, the player will train at the George Helal Training Center.

Saul

No longer needing immobilization, the player continues his recovery process after undergoing surgery on his left heel.
