Leonardo Jardim gets boost before Flamengo v Bragantino in Brasileirão

What boost did Leonardo Jardim get in Flamengo training?

The Flamengo squad is going through a kind of “preseason” during this FIFA international break. During this period, coach Leonardo Jardim had his first contact with some players. Among them is right back Daniel Sales.

Daniel Sales had been training with the first team since the start of the year. However, right when Leonardo Jardim took over the team, the right back was with the under-20 squad competing in the youth Libertadores in Quito, Ecuador.

After the competition ended, Daniel Sales had some time off and showed up again in training this Monday (30) at CT Ninho do Urubu. As a result, this is Leonardo Jardim’s first contact with the 19-year-old youngster.

WHAT IS DANIEL SALES’ SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Right back Daniel Sales played in Flamengo’s first three matches in the Carioca Championship, when the team was made up of under-20 players. After that, the player got an opportunity under Filipe Luís and featured in the derby against Vasco, still in the state championship. In total, the youngster has played four first-team matches in 2026 and has one assist.

WILL DANIEL SALES BE CALLED UP FOR FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

At the moment, Flamengo is short on right backs, since Danilo and Varela are away with the Brazil and Uruguay national teams, respectively. Given this situation, the chances of Leonardo Jardim including Daniel Sales in the squad for the Rubro-Negro’s next game of the season increase.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

Flamengo’s next match will be against Bragantino this Thursday (02), in the ninth round of the Brasileirão. In short, the ball starts rolling at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in Bragança Paulista. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover the details of the clash on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.
