Ayrton Lucas and Pulgar are expected to return to Flamengo’s starting lineup against Santos

Flamengo must have at least two substitutions in the match against Santos, this Sunday, at 18:30 (Brasilia time), in Vila Belmiro, for the Brazilian championship. Ayrton Lucas and Erick Pulgar are expected to return to the squad. In attack Gabigol, available again, disputes the vacant place.

Coach Jorge Sampaoli saved Ayrton Lucas and Erick Pulgar in the match against Bragantino last Thursday. They returned from matches with the Brazilian and Chilean national teams, respectively. Thus, they started on the bench and were released in the second half. Now, the trend is for them to start against Santos.
