Current champion of Libertadores, Flamengo will have a complicated game this Thursday (4), at 19h (Brasília time), at the Presidente Juan Domingo Perón stadium. The Rubro-Negro will face Racing, leader of Group A of the Libertadores with 6 points, 3 more than the cariocas.
Watching this game live, therefore, is practically a civic duty for those who support the three-time continental champion – or for those who enjoy “drying up” their Brazilian rivals to have an easier path following the competition.
Flamengo traveled to Argentina with a long list of absences. Coach Jorge Sampaoli will not be able to count on Varela, Matheuzinho, Filipe Luís, Rodrigo Caio, David Luiz and Gerson, all without playing conditions.
Because of this, the team that will enter the field to face Racing continues with doubts. The main one is about the presence of Everton “Cebolinha” or Pulgar alongside strikers Pedro and Gabigol.
On the Argentine side, coach Fernando Gago will not have an easy life either. Maxi Moralez (suspended), Gonzalo Piovi, Jonatan Gómez, Johan Carbonero, Emiliano Vecchio, Edwin Cardona and Leonel Miranda are out of the match.
