In the following match, against Tunisia, Brazil drew 1-1, with Danilo playing 45 minutes. Meanwhile, Alex Sandro stayed on the bench.

AND COLOMBIA WITH CARRASCAL?

For Colombia, Carrascal played 25 minutes against New Zealand in Fort Lauderdale and another 14 minutes against Australia in New York. The team won 2-1 in the first match and thrashed 3-0 in the second, allowing the coach to adjust the offensive performance and test attacking alternatives.

AND IN ECUADOR?

For Ecuador, Plata played 45 minutes against Canada in Toronto in a goalless draw, and 90 minutes against New Zealand in New Jersey. In the second match, the forward provided two assists and helped Ecuador win 2-0.

AND URUGUAY?

Uruguay had an inconsistent performance with Arrascaeta, Varela, and Viña in the matches against Mexico and the United States, in Torreón and Tampa. In the goalless draw with Mexico, the Flamengo midfielder did not play, but in the 5-1 defeat to the USA, he came on and scored a stunning bicycle kick goal, while Varela and Viña played 90 and 45 minutes, respectively.

WILL ANY OF THE CALLED-UP PLAYERS PLAY FOR FLAMENGO TODAY?

Apart from the Brazilians, the other players are expected in Rio de Janeiro early Wednesday afternoon (19th). Due to his low playing time during the FIFA break, Carrascal has a good chance of being used by coach Filipe Luís in the derby against Fluminense.

The ball will roll for the Fla-Flu derby later at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (19th), for the 34th round of the Brasileirão. Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage of the derby at Maracanã.
