Flamengo takes the field this Sunday (25) to face Fluminense in the fourth round of the Carioca. After missing the match against Vasco, Andrew is cleared to play with the Sacred Mantle. So, Coluna do Fla wants to know: who should be the starting goalkeeper for Rubro-Negro in the ‘Fla-Flu’?
Andrew or Rossi: who should be Flamengo’s starting goalkeeper against Fluminense?
Andrew signed a four-year contract with Flamengo, that is, until December 2029. Rubro-Negro secured the goalkeeper’s signing after paying 1.5 million euros (approximately R$ 9.4 million) + 10% of a future sale to Gil Vicente (POR).
Thus, Flamengo regularized Andrew’s situation in BIRA of the Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation (FERJ). Therefore, the second reinforcement for Mengão in 2026 is cleared to play against Fluminense this Sunday (25).
Andrew was not available to Filipe Luís for the match against Vasco. Thus, Rossi was Flamengo’s starting goalkeeper in the ‘Clássico dos Milhões’. However, the Argentine didn’t even ‘dirty’ his uniform, since the Rio rival didn’t have a single shot on target during the match.
With Rossi and Andrew available, the classic between Flamengo and Fluminense takes place this Sunday (25), in a match valid for the fourth round of the Carioca. Thus, the ball rolls at 6pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Fluminense, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Rio classic.
