Flamengo Finalizes 24-Man Squad for Recopa Opener at Lanús

Overview

• Flamengo arrived in Buenos Aires on Tuesday night and will complete final preparations at Boca Juniors’ Casa Amarilla before Thursday’s first leg at La Fortaleza.
• The club released an official 24-player list for the trip, with Pedro cleared after medical re-evaluation and Guillermo Varela back from an ankle issue.
• Pedro traveled following tests that found no injury after recent adductor/groin discomfort reported around the Botafogo match.
• Gonzalo Plata will miss the opener due to a CONMEBOL suspension stemming from his 2025 expulsion against Racing.
• Jorginho (left thigh), Wallace Yan (muscular pain) and Saúl (ankle surgery recovery) did not travel, and media report Wallace Yan’s move to Bragantino is advancing ahead of the Feb. 26 return leg at the Maracanã.
