Flamengo lineup against Cruz Azul
Flamengo has just one doubt in the starting lineup. Recovered from an ankle injury, defender Léo Ortiz is available, but should start among the reserves, as Danilo, his replacement, is going through a great phase. A confirmed absence is striker Pedro, who has not recovered from a thigh muscle injury.
Probable Flamengo lineup: Rossi; Varela, Danilo (Léo Ortiz), Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Pulgar, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Carrascal, Bruno Henrique and Samuel Lino. Technical: Filipe Luís.
