Flamengo vs. Chelsea lineups and team updates
Flamengo’s coach Luis Filipe may choose to stick with a successful lineup.
This could see Jorginho taking the pitch, who has previously made 213 appearances for Chelsea and played a key role in their 2020/21 UEFA Champions League victory, the reason for their participation in this tournament.
Nicolas de la Cruz might return from his injury, likely starting from the bench. Reported Manchester City target Wesley, who was a substitute against Esperance, may take the place of Guillermo Varela at right-back.
Flamengo’s projected lineup (4-2-3-1): Rossi (GK) — Wesley, Ortiz, Pereira, Ayrton Lucas — Pulgar, Jorginho — Gerson, De Arrascaeta, Luiz Araujo — Pedro
Injuries: None
Suspensions: None
Liam Delap had a vibrant appearance off the bench against LAFC, assisting Enzo Fernandez with the final goal. The recent addition from Ipswich Town could replace Nicolas Jackson as the center-forward.
Moises Caicedo, Fernandez’s midfield partner, was forced off late in the LAFC match due to a collision with teammate Marc Cucurella, casting doubt on his availability. Young talent Andrey Santos might be given a starting role if Caicedo is not fit to play.
Transfer captain Reece James was substituted at halftime of the match against LAFC as a mere precaution and is expected to be in the starting lineup again.
Chelsea’s projected lineup (4-2-3-1): Sanchez (GK) — James, Adarabioyo, Colwill, Cucurella — Fernandez, Santos — Neto, Palmer, Madueke — Delap
Injuries: Caicedo (leg, questionable), Fofana (muscle issue), Kellyman (hamstring problem)
Suspensions: Mudryk (doping violation)
