According to Coluna Do Fla, former Flamengo target Luiz Henrique is the strong favourite to start for Brazil against Croatia on Tuesday after Barcelona forward Raphinha withdrew with injury following the France match.
In 2024, while at Betis in Spain, Flamengo pursued him on loan, so he completed a permanent move to Botafogo instead.
He now plays for Zenit in Russia, though he may leave after the World Cup in the United States, and Flamengo are monitoring his situation amid that possibility.
