Update on the embezzlement of Saúl in Flamengo
Saúl will not play against Corinthians today. The Spanish midfielder underwent heel surgery at the end of last year and is still in the recovery process. The Flamengo medical department keeps the player sidelined for an indefinite period of time. His absence was already expected for Supercopa and does not change the team’s main planning.
Coach Filipe Luís has other options in midfield to fill the vacancy. Evertton Araújo, Erick Pulgar and Carrascal form the basis of the probable titular triplet. The technical committee monitors the gradual return of Saúl for future commitments at Carioca and Libertadores.
Probable lineup of Flamengo and news
Lucas Paquetá appears as the main novelty among those listed. The midfielder was recently regularized and is ready to debut, but should start on the bench. Danilo returns from an old injury and travels with the squad. De la Cruz also becomes available for the first time in 2026.
Probable lineup: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz (Vitão), Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Evertton Araújo, Pulgar and Carrascal; Plata, Samuel Lino (Cebolinha) and Pedro.
Other confirmed embezzlements: Allan and Wallace Yan, both due to technical choice.
Maximum force at Corinthians under Dorival Júnior
Coach Dorival Júnior prepares the team with the main players available. The doubts are concentrated in midfield, where André, Matheus Pereira and André Carrillo compete for positions alongside Raniele. Up front, Rodrigo Garro and Breno Bidon fight for a place in the offensive sector.
Probable lineup: Hugo Souza; Matheuzinho, Gustavo Henrique, André Ramalho and Matheus Bidu; Raniele, André, André Carrillo (Matheus Pereira) and Breno Bidon (Rodrigo Memphis Depay and Yuri Alberto.
Absences: João Pedro Tchoca (frustrated negotiation) and José Martínez (bureaucratic issues at Venezuela).
Arbitration defined for the confrontation
Rafael Rodrigo Klein, from Rio Grande from Sul, whistles the final of Supercopa. Bruno Boschilia (Paraná) and Rafael from Silva Alves (Rio Grande from Sul) act as assistants. Rodolpho Toski Marques (Paraná) commands the VAR. The refereeing team has experience in decisive games on the national calendar.
Context of the decision in Mané Garrincha
The stadium in Brasília hosts Supercopa for the fourth time with the participation of Flamengo. The neutral command balances the conditions for both teams. The red-and-black team is looking to win four times in the tournament, while Corinthians is trying to repeat the 1991 feat against the same opponent.
Flamengo arrives after two consecutive defeats and an irregular start to the Carioca. Corinthians has few victories in 2026 and is betting on maximum strength to win the first trophy of the season.
