Nesta quinta-feira, o Maracanã recebe Flamengo e Estudiantes às 21h30 (horário de Brasília), pela volta da semifinal da Libertadores. O duelo de ida, em La Plata, na Argentina, terminou 0 a 0, e o time rubro-negro precisa de um resultado melhor para avançar à decisão.

Para esse jogo, o técnico Leonardo Jardim deve mexer na equipe que começou na Argentina. A primeira alteração é o retorno do volante Jorginho, que cumpriu suspensão na ida após ter sido expulso no confronto com o Independiente del Valle, pelas quartas de final.

Quem também pode reaparecer é Giorgian de Arrascaeta. Conforme apuração da ESPN, o uruguaio já realizou atividades com bola, ainda sem a presença dos demais companheiros, e há otimismo quanto a uma volta ao banco de reservas.

No ataque, a dúvida é se Gonzalo Plata entra na vaga de Lucas Paquetá, deslocando o setor. A atuação de Carrascal como camisa 10 diante do Bahia abriria caminho para o equatoriano atuar pelo lado direito.

Assim, o treinador recupera peças no meio-campo e no ataque justamente no duelo que define quem disputa a final do torneio continental.
