Flamengo is in the final stages of preparation for the classic against Vasco, in 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 paperwork from Gil Vicente (POR) only arrived at the beginning of this Tuesday (20). However, since today is a public holiday in the city of Rio de Janeiro, the Federation is closed. Therefore, 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 paperwork, the player would already be eligible to play against Vasco at Maracanã.
Andrew arrived at Flamengo to fill the gap in the goalkeeper position, since Matheus Cunha left the club at the end of last season. Thus, the player comes to ‘fight’ for a spot in the starting lineup with Rossi. The expectation is that the new goalkeeper will get opportunities in Flamengo’s upcoming Carioca matches.
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. Coluna do Fla TV will bring you all the details of the ‘Clássico dos Milhões’ with the most Rubro-Negro coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
