In addition to Filipe Luis playing on the edge of the pitch, Flamengo have another new element in the first match of the Brazilian Cup semi-final. Michael, missing since suffering a muscle injury on August 28, is in action again. The striker has been training with the group since last week and is an available option for Wednesday’s match at the Maracanã.
Building on the philosophy adopted by Tite last weekend, where Plata started against Atletico Paranaense, Michael will have a chance to start against Corinthians. The change in command leaves it open as to what the choice will be. Even with the uncertainty, the striker’s return to the team was celebrated internally.
Having an extra player in the attack is very important, especially in the Brazilian Cup. In the competition, in addition to the injured Luiz Araujo, Cipoliña and Pedro, the technical committee does not have Carlinhos. The midfielder defended Nova Iguaçu in the previous stages of the competition and can only play in the Brazilian championship.
Flamengo and Corinthians play at 9:45pm on Wednesday, at the Maracanã, with a live broadcast from Super Radio Tubi.
