Rubro-Negro has five players under the spotlight in the classic against Botafogo and could lose the direct clash with Palmeiras
After the end of another FIFA event, Flamengo prepares for a series of decisive matches in the fight for the Brasileirão title. Secondly, Rubro-Negro will have a classic with Botafogo, this Wednesday (15th), at 19:30 (Brasilia time), at Nilton Santos, and then will face league leaders Palmeiras, Sunday (19th), at Maracanã. However, coach Filipe Luís has a headache: the high number of hangings.
Flamengo faces Botafogo with five players suspended. Among these, two are absolute starters: midfielder Jorginho and midfielder Arrascaeta. Besides them there is also Carrascal, who has become a starter in recent games. Finally, the list also includes Pulgar, who returns from injury after being suspended, and midfielder Allan, currently a reserve.
The main concern, of course, is the trio Jorginho, Arrascaeta and Carrascal. After all, the first two are absolute starters, while the second liked it and found space in the starting lineup. Flamengo could therefore have important absences in view of the direct clash against Palmeiras, on Sunday at 4pm, at the Maracanã, in the direct clash for the title fight.
Flamengo is second with 55 points, three behind leader Palmeiras. Both, in fact, have one game less. Under pressure, Rubro-Negro tries to get back on track after having achieved just one victory in the last five matches, which has allowed the San Paolo fans to react. Therefore, the next two matches could define the course of the Brasileirão.
