Flamengo ask CBF to postpone derby against Fluminense

Flamengo is trying with the CBF to postpone the derby against Fluminense, scheduled for this Saturday, for the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship. The club’s board requested that the match be moved to Sunday (12).

The request comes because of the team’s short preparation time. Flamengo is expected to arrive in Rio de Janeiro only on Thursday night, which would leave the squad without a training day before the derby at the Maracanã.
