With the return of Alex Sandro, Flamengo prepares to face Fluminense

Filipe Luís’ team tries to maintain a positive streak and overcome absences

After the stop of Brazilian football, Flamengo resumes its trajectory in the Brazilian championship this Thursday (17), facing Fluminense at the Maracanã, in a classic valid for the 30th round. Coach Filipe Luís will be able to count on the return of Alex Sandro, who was absent in the last match against Bahia due to a muscle problem in his right thigh. Taking advantage of the FIFA Date period, the full-back has recovered and is now participating normally in training.

However, Flamengo will have four significant absences for the duel. Pedro, Everton Cebolinha and Matías Viña are recovering from surgery after serious injuries and are expected to return to the field only in 2025. Luiz Araújo, however, remains in the Department of Medicine due to a fracture of the cartilage in his right knee, with a return scheduled for the last stretch of the season.

In addition to the absences, the team will have to pay attention to the situation of Léo Ortiz, Gabigol and Carlinhos. The three players are suspended and, if they receive a yellow card against Fluminense, they will be excluded from the next match, which will be against Juventude, on 26 October.

The classic promises to be decisive for Flamengo, who seeks victory for the fourth consecutive time. The match is scheduled for 20:00 (Brasilia time) and will be a great opportunity for Mengão to get back into the competition and increase the pressure in the search for better positions in the table.
