Flamengo include Carbone and Lucien in Libertadores match

With seven absentees, Flamengo turned to Carbone and Lucien to bolster the squad.

Flamengo face Bolivar (Bolivar) on Thursday (22), in La Paz, in the second leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores. Despite being two goals ahead at the Maracanã, Rubro Negro maintained his full concentration in the match. But the surprise was due to the two young full-backs, Carbone and Lucien, who were chosen to reinforce the sector in the decisive match.

Tite looks for alternatives to injuries

With seven players out injured, Tite had to resort to the red and black rule to try to beat the Bolivian team. In this sense, Maes Querido’s team could lose on goal difference and secure their place in the quarter-finals.

Youth related

Carbone, who has already had some opportunities in the first team, should be Tite’s choice to replace Ayrton Lucas, who starts as a starter on the left. Lucien could also make his international debut. This is because the youngster who plays on the right is available to the coach to replace Guillermo Varela.

Flamengo seeks classification

With Carbone and Lucien, Flamengo is looking to qualify for the next stage of the continental championship. Therefore, Mingo will face Bolivar (Bolivia) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasilia time) on Thursday (22), at the Hernando Siles stadium.
