Flamengo will have 5 absences in the Brasileirão and causes concern for Jorge Jesus

This Wednesday (16), Flamengo faces the Fortaleza team at Castelão. Rubro-Negro occupies the isolated influence of the Brazilian Tournament, with 58 points, in a clear correlation with Palmeiras and Santos, who remain in second and third place, with 50 and 48 points, respectively.

In a completely unique situation, Fortaleza occupies the bottom of the list. The squad currently has 28 points, 3 points away from being relegated, the first relegated team is CSA, with 25 points. Despite the slippery campaign in the Brazilian Tournament, the Flamengo squad is aware that competing against a team that is fighting against relegation is constantly quite difficult.

However, this is not the only disrespect faced by Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus tonight. In his hands, he has the complicated mission of obtaining replacements for his squad, which is currently missing five of the team's main players.

Bruno Henrique and Willian Arão are suspended, Rafinha, Filipe Luís and Arrascaeta are banned due to injury. The first 2 athletes mentioned were involved in controversy with the refereeing of the 25th round, at the time when Flamengo beat Athletico Paranaense at Estacada da Encharcado. At the end of the irony, Jorge Jesus took a series of criticisms, including the cards that took them out of the game.

Arrascaeta and Filipe Luís continue to recover from injuries suffered in the irony of the Libertadores match against Grêmio. The functions remain intense for recovery, and there is also no official information about their availability to play in the return game of the continental correction. Rafinha, in turn, is recovering from a break suffered in one of the bones in his face, in this weekend's round of the Brasileirão.
