Filipe Luís decides Flamengo starlet’s future before Barça clash | OneFootball

Wallace Yan will not be available for Flamengo against Barcelona (ESP)

Flamengo takes the field this Saturday (23), against Barcelona (ESP), for the decision of the U-20 Club World Cup. Therefore, Filipe Luís has decided that Wallace Yan will not play the match against the Spanish team, being available for the professional squad.

— I spoke with João, what's happening with João makes me a bit sad. When Danilo was injured, he was the immediate substitute. I need him. I think about giving him minutes to develop, but unfortunately, he didn't have many either here or in the U-20. Danilo's return allowed me to send him down and play this final match of the U-20 World Cup -, he said, before concluding:

— This match is important for the club and it's important to talk about it. Matheus also needs to play. Just staying here training, not getting in, makes him sad, makes him downcast and he ends up not developing. I hope they can have a great match. Wallace (Yan), no. He will stay here with me -, he said.

Can Flamengo become two-time World Champions?

It's worth remembering that Flamengo is the current U-20 Club World Cup champion. That's because, the Most Beloved beat Olympiacos (GRE) 2-1 in the 2023 season and won the title at Maracanã. Thus, the Red-Black can become two-time champions this Saturday (23), in front of the fans.

And Flamengo's professional squad?

The main team of Flamengo, however, takes the field on Wednesday (20), at Beira Rio, against Internacional, for the return of the round of 16 of the Libertadores of America. The match is scheduled for 9:30 pm (Brasília time), with broadcast by Rede Globo, on open channel, ESPN, on pay TV, and Disney+, on streaming.
