Flamengo will visit Palestino in a match where much is at stake, in Matchday 4 of Group E of the Libertadores, as a defeat would practically complicate their chances of competing for the lead against Bolívar, who leads with 9 points.

The Brazilians, second with 4 points, have doubled down with the return to the starting lineup of Everton and "Gabigol." Palestino, third with 3 points, has little margin in a group where Millonarios closes the classification with one.

The forward Gabriel Barbosa, "Gabigol," who received a two-year ban for failing a doping test, was favored by a decision from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which suspended the sanction.

Although Pedro, with two goals in the Libertadores, has been leading the attack for the rojinegro team, Tite now has a luxury reinforcement in "Gabigol."

Also, creative Everton will be back after overcoming an injury to his right calf. During the period when the player was absent, the Brazilian team has only managed to win one out of five matches.

However, Chilean midfielder Erick Pulgar will be out due to a left ankle sprain, and Uruguayan midfielder Giorgian de Arrascaeta due to problems in his right thigh.

On the other hand, Pablo Sánchez's team faces their last home match in the group stage, excited by their good footballing moment, after achieving their first victory (3-1) in the previous match against Millonarios.

"It is a huge obligation to try to get a good result against Flamengo, but a beautiful challenge. We will also see what happens with the other match, but in principle, considering that it will be our last home match, it would be very important to get points," said the Palestino coach.
