In search of an advantage in the semifinal of the Campeonato Carioca, Flamengo faces Madureira at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (22), at Maracanã. Coach Filipe Luís will have a reinforcement in attack: Gonzalo Plata. In addition, the coach may also have Wallace Yan back.
Plata received a two-match suspension after being sent off in last year's Libertadores semifinal, against Racing (ARG). Thus, the winger served the first match in the final against Palmeiras and the second last Thursday (19), against Lanús (ARG), in the Recopa. Now, the player is once again available for this Sunday’s (22) clash in the Campeonato Carioca.
Additionally, Wallace Yan missed Flamengo’s last game, in the Recopa Sudamericana, due to muscle pain. However, the young striker participated in training with the group this Saturday (21). Therefore, he has a chance to be an option for Filipe Luís in the match against Madureira.
Flamengo and Madureira face off at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (22), at Maracanã. The match will be broadcast on Globo (free-to-air), SporTV (cable), and Premiere (pay-per-view).
