Flamengo gets reinforcements for the classic
The good news for the fan is that Marinho and Léo Pereira are back, released by the medical department and available to Paulo Sousa. The muscle pain in the thigh no longer bothers the defender, just as the attacker’s rib fracture is healed. However, both must start between the reserves.
Pablo, who was injured in the first half against Talleres, in Córdoba, did not show anything more serious and is among the related. With five points, Flamengo is 12th in the Brasileirão and needs to win to climb the leaderboard. A negative result will increase the crowd’s demands against the Portuguese coach.
