Flamengo confirm four absences for Vasco clash | OneFootball

According to Coluna Do Fla, Flamengo have brought forward the first-team's 2026 debut and will face Vasco. Filipe Luís will have his leading players available, but four are ruled out.

The confirmed absentees are Saúl, De La Cruz, Danilo and Andrew. Saúl is recovering from ankle surgery, De La Cruz and Danilo are on tailored programmes as part of injury treatment, and goalkeeper Andrew was not registered in time for the game.

Vitão is in a different situation, he has been registered for the Carioca and could make his Flamengo debut.

After three matches, the under-20s are winless and have one point from a 1-1 draw with Portuguesa.

They sit bottom of Group B in the 2026 Campeonato Carioca. The reshuffle aims to trigger a recovery and avoid the relegation play-off quadrangular.

The derby at the Maracanã will be shown live on Rede Globo free-to-air, with SporTV, Premiere and GETV on YouTube also broadcasting. Coverage begins at 21:30 Brasília time on Wednesday, 21.
