Flamengo arrive in Recife with one of the smallest squads this season. Due to 12 absences between medical cuts and call-ups, Filipe Luis is no longer available for this Saturday (11/15) in the postponed matchday 12 of the Brasileirão against Sport.
The main victim in the last minute was Nicolas de la Cruz. The midfielder had applied for an exemption from the Uruguayan national team in order to prioritize his club, but the medical authorities did not release him. He is not injured, but will be saved due to physical overload after a recent series of matches.
