Club World Cup 2025: Flamengo-Esperance de Tunisie, the likely lineups

Tuesday, June 17, at 3 a.m. Italian time, Flamengo and Esperance de Tunisie will make their Club World Cup debut at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, in the first day of Group D, which also includes Chelsea and Los Angeles.

Filipe Luis relies on former Fiorentina player Pedro in attack, supported by former Roma player Gerson, De Arrascaeta and Everton in the three-quarter. Former Bologna man Pulgar is in midfield, while former Juventus man Danilo and Alex Sandro are in defense.

Kanzari has only two lineup doubts: in midfield Tka contends for a shirt with Ogbelu, while in attack Rodrigues starts ahead of Jabri.

Probable lineups

Flamengo (4-2-3-1): Rossi; Wesley, Leo Ortiz, Danilo, Alex Sandro; Pulgar, De La Cruz; Gerson, De Arrascaeta, Everton; Pedro. All. Filipe Luis.

Esperance de Tunisie (4-2-3-1): Memmiche; Bouchniba, Jelassi, Tougai, Ben Hamida; Ogbelu, Konaté; Mokwana, Belaili, Sasse; Rodrigues. All. Kanzari.
