Matheus Cunha and reinforcements from Copenha: Find out Flamengo's possible lineup for the match against Nova Iguaçu

If the main team will make De la Cruz's first match in the United States, Flamengo's substitute team will play in Joao Pessoa, on Sunday (21), in the Carioca tournament. Against Nova Iguaçu, coach Mario Jorge will send goalkeeper Mateus Cunha and some players who played in the first phase of Copenha to the field.

Mateus Cunha, Santiago Ocampos, Gabriel Noga, Dijao and Zé Wellinton; Everton, Ryan Lucas and Laurent; Thiagenew, Peterson, and Weirton.

In other words, out of 11 potential players, only Matheus Cunha would continue in the professional team. Last year, for example, the goalkeeper played 36 matches, starting in the Copa do Brasil, Libertadores and Brazil editions. Furthermore, the team will be full of youngsters from Flamengo's youth teams.

Two sessions after serious injuries

After a year out due to a serious knee injury, Gabriel Noga should start the match. The player, who turns 22 next Thursday (25), did not hide his anxiety about the confrontation, after a long period of inactivity. Another return will also take place on the right flank. Paraguayan Santiago Ocampos has not been on the field since the end of 2022, when he suffered a tear in his knee ligaments.

Goodbye?

In attack, Peterson lives his last moments wearing a Flamengo shirt. A loan deal has been agreed with Club Atletico, with the winger going to Curitiba after facing Nova Iguaçu and Portugal on January 27. Another person who could leave is Weirton. After the football administration reached an agreement with Santa Clara (Portugal), president Rodolfo Landim blocked the deal, due to the low value of the deal, which amounts to approximately R$ 5 million. The president is waiting for a bigger offer from the Portuguese, after all.
