How Flamengo and Al-Ahly arrive for the game
Flamengo arrived for the World Cup shortly after losing the Brazilian Super Cup to palm trees. In their debut at the World Cup, the cariocas faced Al-Hilal, but were unable to impose themselves in the game and were defeated by 3-2.
To make matters worse, midfielder Gerson was expelled after receiving the second yellow after committing a penalty at the end of the first half. The player will be embezzled by coach Vítor Pereira. The Portuguese will also have to deal with the absence of defender Léo Pereira, who was replaced at half-time and had a thigh injury confirmed this Thursday. Filipe Luís, who did not play last Tuesday, will be out due to problems with the plantar fascia of his right foot.
Al-Ahly had the tough challenge of facing the Real Madrid in the semi-final of the Club World Cup. The Egyptians were defeated 4-1 in the clash against the Spaniards. Before that, they passed the Seattle Sounders with a 1-0 victory.
