Why Can't Andrew Debut in the Flamengo vs Vasco Game?

By: Rodrigo Lima

Flamengo is in the final stages of preparation for the classic match against Vasco, for the third round of the Carioca. Even though he has been training normally with the squad, Andrew is a confirmed absence for the match this Wednesday (21), at Maracanã.

As reported by the Coluna do Fla team, Andrew's documentation from Gil Vicente (POR) only arrived at the beginning of this Tuesday (20). However, since today is a holiday in the city of Rio de Janeiro, the Federation is closed. Thus, the Rubro-Negro will not have enough time to register the goalkeeper in time for the classic.

It's important to note that Andrew was active at Gil Vicente and has been training with the Flamengo squad since last week. In other words, if it weren't for the pending documentation issue, the athlete would already be able to play against Vasco at Maracanã.

HOW DID ANDREW ARRIVE AT FLAMENGO?

Andrew arrived at Flamengo to fill the gap in the goalkeeper position, as Matheus Cunha left the club at the end of last season. Thus, the athlete comes to ‘compete’ for a spot in the starting team with Rossi. The trend is that the new goalkeeper will get chances in the upcoming Carioca games.

WHEN IS THE FLAMENGO VS VASCO GAME IN THE CARIOCA?

Without Andrew available, Flamengo faces Vasco this Wednesday (21), for the third round of the Carioca. The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV will cover the ‘Clássico dos Milhões’ with the most Flamengo-centric coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
