Despite this, Danilo has been helping the coach adapt at Flamengo

Flamengo is preparing to face Remo this Thursday (19th), for the seventh round of the Brasileirão. Although he is one of the leaders behind the scenes at Fla, Danilo has not yet played under the command of Leonardo Jardim.

In summary, Danilo has been one of the main players helping Leonardo Jardim in the daily backstage of Flamengo. However, even so, the defender is one of four athletes who have not yet been given an opportunity by the new coach.

In addition to Danilo, goalkeepers Andrew and Dyogo Alves, and midfielder De La Cruz have also not taken the field since Leonardo Jardim arrived at Flamengo. Up until now, the defender has not played for four matches.

When was Danilo’s last game?

In summary, the last match in which Danilo took the field for Flamengo was in the defeat to Lanús (ARG), in the Recopa Sudamericana. On that occasion, the defender started and was substituted in the first minute of extra time by Filipe Luís.

In the 2026 season, Danilo took part in four matches, starting in all of them. Besides the Recopa Sudamericana, the defender played three times in the Campeonato Carioca, against Madureira, Botafogo, and Sampaio Corrêa.

And now?

Now, Danilo may get an opportunity on Thursday (19th), when Flamengo faces Remo, for the seventh round of the Brasileirão. The teams will face off starting at 8 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
