Alex Sandro will miss Flamengo’s next match in the Brazilian League

Ayrton Lucas should be Flamengo’s starting left-back against Bahia

Flamengo will again miss the match against Bahia on Saturday (05) in the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. This is because Alex Sandro felt discomfort in the back of his right thigh and was not among the candidates to face the Bahian team.

With Alex Sandro out, Ayrton Lucas should start for Flamengo on Saturday (05), against Bahia. The player was on the bench in the last few matches after arriving at number 26, but now he has a new opportunity among the 11.
