Flamengo lineup: Tite evaluates changes to the team against Atlético-MG

Leader of the Brazilian Championship, the Rio de Janeiro team visits Galo, this Wednesday (3), at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte

In defense of the leadership of the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo faces Atlético-MG this Wednesday (3), at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte. The red-black squad finished the preparation at Ninho do Urubu, this Tuesday (3), and coach Tite is evaluating changes in the team for the game of the 14th round of Series A. The ball rolls at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).

The good news for Flamengo is the return of Erick Pulgar. After playing for Chile in the Copa América , the midfielder was reinstated and traveled to Belo Horizonte. It is possible that the number 5 will be a starter.

On the other hand, there are players on a great run of games, such as Gerson and Pedro, who were starters in the last nine and 10 rounds of the Brasileirão, respectively.

A likely Flamengo line-up has Rossi; Wesley, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Allan, Erick Pulgar and Gerson (Lorran); Bruno Henrique, Luiz Araújo and Pedro (Carlinhos).

With the possibility of leaving Flamengo in this transfer window, striker Gabigol remains out of the group and is not available to Tite. Find out more about the number 99 here.

Striker Everton Cebolinha remains out with a hip injury. Midfielder Igor Jesus, who has recovered from a sprained left ankle, returned to training with the group this week.

In addition to them, Uruguayans Arrascaeta, De La Cruz, Viña and Varela, who are playing for Celeste in the Copa América in the United States, continue to be absent from Tite’s coaching staff.
