With Léo Ortiz in doubt, Flamengo wants to have Danilo for the match against Fluminense this Wednesday (19), at Maracanã. However, the experienced defender will face a real marathon to try to participate in the classic. After all, the athlete played this Tuesday (18) in France for 45 minutes for the Brazilian National Team.
Danilo will take a commercial flight from Paris around 11 am (French time) and arrive in Rio de Janeiro at 6:30 pm (Brasília time). That is, three hours before the match starts at Maracanã. Therefore, it is unlikely that the 34-year-old athlete will participate in the duel. It is important to note that Alex Sandro, who did not face Tunisia, will be on the same plane.
Leila Pereira, president of Palmeiras, will use a chartered flight to take Vitor Roque, Luciano Juba, Paulo Henrique, and Fabrício Bruno to São Paulo after the National Team's game. The plane takes off this Tuesday (18) and arrives in the São Paulo capital at 11 am (Brasília time) on Wednesday (19). Due to the recent rivalry, Mengo did not even talk to the runner-up of the Brasileirão about the situation.
If Flamengo did not use a chartered flight to bring Danilo and Alex Sandro, the scenario is different for the foreign players. Thus, the Ecuadorian Gonzalo Plata, the Colombian Jorge Carrascal, and the Uruguayans Arrascaeta, Viña, and Varela play on the night of this Tuesday (18) in the United States and have more chances to reinforce Mengão.
The match between Flamengo and Fluminense starts at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) at Maracanã. The leader of the competition, Mengão has 71 points, three more than the runner-up Palmeiras, who plays at 7:30 pm (Brasília time) against Vitória at Allianz Parque.
