The big news on the list compared to Sunday's game (11th) against Portuguesa is Ryan Roberto. Considered a gem at the club, with a release clause above R$ 300 million, the youngster missed the match in Volta Redonda as he was recovering from an injury.
Now recovered and confirmed on the list, Ryan went through a rookie prank from the other players and had his head shaved. Famous for his afro hair, the 17-year-old will go to Moça Bonita bald. Just like other teammates who went through the same situation before their debut.
Although he appears on the squad list, Ryan Roberto is expected to start on the bench for Bruno Pivetti’s team. Thus, the likely lineup is: Léo Nannetti, Daniel Sales, Iago, João Victor, and Johnny; Lucas Vieira, Pablo Lucio, and Guilherme; Caio Joshua, Douglas Telles, and Wallace Yan.
Flamengo and Bangu, for the Carioca, kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (14th). If there’s Mengão on the field, there’s full coverage from Coluna do Fla, live from Moça Bonita. On television, Globo (on free-to-air in part of the country) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.
