The quarter-final matches of the Carioca are set, and Flamengo will face Botafogo. For the match, which takes place next Sunday (15), with the time yet to be determined, the team from General Severiano will have a key player missing. This is the midfielder Allan.
Allan will be out of the game against Flamengo, as he was sent off in the classic against Vasco last Sunday (08). On that occasion, the player received a red card after complaining to the referee from the bench. Thus, coach Martín Anselmi will not have a starting midfielder from Botafogo.
Besides Allan, Botafogo had another player sent off against Vasco, at São Januário. After receiving two yellow cards in the first half of the game, midfielder Marquinhos is also out of the classic against Flamengo.
The Football Federation of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FFERJ) has already set the date for the quarter-final matches of the Carioca. Thus, Flamengo faces Botafogo on Sunday (15), at the Nilton Santos Stadium, with the time yet to be determined.
Before that, however, Flamengo returns to the field for the Brasileirão. This Tuesday (10), Mengão faces Vitória, for the third round. The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Barradão Stadium.
Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, shows the details of the match with live coverage by reporter Leo José on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Premiere, via pay-per-view, broadcasts the duel valid for the third round of the Brasileirão.
