📋 Neymar v Arrascaeta? Santos and Flamengo reveal official line-ups
While the Rubro-Negro leads the championship with 27 points, the Peixe - with 11 points and in 16th place on the table - fights to stay out of the relegation zone.
The match marks Santos' return to the Brasileirão after more than a month, due to the pause for the Club World Cup and because last weekend's derby against Palmeiras was postponed by the CBF.
Thus, coach Cléber Xavier decided to field the same team that started the friendly against Desportiva Ferroviária, which ended with a 3-1 victory for Peixe, featuring a goal and an assist from Neymar.
As for Flamengo, coming off a 2-0 victory over São Paulo, coach Filipe Luís chose to place Danilo and Varela in the positions of Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro, respectively.📋 Check out Santos' lineup

Reinier Jesus to train with Real Madrid's reserve team amidst uncertainty over future
Real Madrid midfielder Reinier Jesus will train with the club's reserve team, Real Madrid Castilla, amidst uncertainty over his future at the club. Reinier joined Madrid in 2020 for €30million (£26.1m; $35.1m) but has never made an appearance for the first team and has had four separate loan spells. Advertisement The 23-year-old has attracted interest from clubs in Brazil, including former club Flamengo. Reinier's contract runs until June 2026, with talks between the club and player's side expected to take place this month to resolve his future. He is not expected to be counted on by Castilla head coach Alvaro Arbeloa this season. Arbeloa took up the role in May after the departure of Raul, who had wanted to keep Reinier ahead of his loan move to Granada last season. Reinier played in the academies of Vasco de Gama, Botafogo and Fluminense before joining Flamengo in 2014, making his senior debut with the club as a 17-year-old in 2019. He was subject to interest from Manchester City and other English clubs, as well as Atletico Madrid, though Madrid won the race for his signature in January 2020, paying his €30m release clause. 80 per cent of the fee went to Flamengo, 10 per cent to the player's family and the remaining 10 per cent went to the player's agent. Reinier signed a six-year contract in the Spanish capital and made three appearances for Castilla, scoring twice. He joined Borussia Dortmund on a two-year loan deal in August 2020, with the German club paying a €5m loan fee. He appeared 39 times for Dortmund, scoring once and providing one assist. Loan spells at La Liga side Girona in the 2022-23 season and at Italian team Frosinone in 2023-24 followed, before Granada in Spanish second tier in August last year, where he featured in 25 games and provided four assists. Reinier was capped by Brazil at under-17 level and represented the nation at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, winning a gold medal. (Ion)

Gabriel Jesus close to a return to Brazil
Gabriel Jesus close to a return to Brazil Gabriel Jesus's adventure at Arsenal could be coming to an end. According to RTI Esporte in Brazil, the international striker is in advanced talks with Flamengo over a loan deal. The arrival of Viktor Gyökeres at Arsenal has shaken up the Gunners' attacking hierarchy. Already sidelined by injuries (out until November), Gabriel Jesus now sees his playing time under threat. With less than a year to go until the 2026 World Cup, he is considering a departure. RTI Esporte also reports that both clubs are negotiating a loan deal in which Arsenal would cover half of his weekly salary, estimated at £265,000. Motivated by the chance to regain match fitness ahead of the World Cup, the former Manchester City forward is said to be open to a move back home. This is a transfer saga to watch closely in the coming days.

🎥 Flamengo edge Atlético in tense clash, go top in Brasileirão
It was a kind of "preview" of what is to come in the round of 16 of the Brazil Cup. And Flamengo got the better of Atlético Mineiro this Sunday (27), for the 17th round of the Brasileirão in front of 54,550 attendees. In a tense game, with a controversial move and many cards, the Rubro-Negro won 1 x 0 thanks to Léo Ortiz. And they returned to lead the Brasileirã in the 1st Half The first acute move was in favor of Galo, with Rony almost celebrating. Atlético was successful for much of the initial stage, with individual markings and long balls, managing to contain the Rubro-Negro's momentum. As the minutes passed, Flamengo was gaining more space. The controversy came after a foul by Fausto Vera on Plata. It was a penalty and turned into a foul outside the area, but without a red card. Flamengo went for the pressure before the break - and again complained about Ramon Abatti Abel. Galo, on the other hand, had a great chance on the counter-attack, but Hulk preferred to pass. Fla lethal in the air The "start" of the second half was a truncated game with little inspiration from both sides. Flamengo had more possession and volume. But continued to find difficulty against good marking. Then Luiz Araújo took a "hand" free kick and Léo Ortiz scored his fourth goal in the air this season (30'). The sequence was of unsuccessful attempts from both sides. 📊 Table and schedule 📅 With one less game, Flamengo went to 36 points. Leaving Cruzeiro (34) behind. Atlético - defeated for the third round in a row - remains with 20. It's the 13th with 15 matches played. Both will face each other again on Thursday (31) and once again at Maracanã. It will be the first leg of the round of 16 of the Brazil Cup. The return will be the following Wednesday (6) and at Arena MRV. The next commitment of the duo for BR-25 will be on Sunday (3). Rubro-Negro will visit Ceará at Castelão. While CAM will host Red Bull Bragantino. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
