Flamengo and Vasco face off at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (03)


Flamengo is counting down to another Brasileirão match. This Sunday (03), the Rubro-Negro hosts Vasco at the Maracanã in the 14th round of the national competition. For the derby, head coach Leonardo Jardim is already dealing with four confirmed absences and will still decide the status of one player.

Recovering from an injury, Lucas Paquetá still has no set timetable for returning to the pitch and remains under the supervision of the medical department. The midfielder is dealing with swelling in the tendon of his left thigh, which requires caution in the recovery process. In addition, the club is taking the player’s physical wear and tear into account given Brazil’s intense schedule.

Meanwhile, Arrascaeta is still recovering after undergoing surgery to repair a fracture in his right collarbone. Besides him, Erick Pulgar is being treated for a shoulder injury, while Carrascal is a confirmed absentee as he serves a suspension imposed by the STJD.

WHAT’S THE DOUBT?

Léo Pereira, who missed the last match due to a cut on his shin, is still a doubt for the derby. The center back needed four stitches in the area and remains under observation. However, the expectation is that the No. 4 will be included in the squad and start the match against Vasco at least on the bench.

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS OF THE FLAMENGO VS VASCO MATCH?

Flamengo returns to the pitch this Sunday (03), when it faces Vasco. The ball gets rolling at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. It is worth remembering that Mengão needs a positive result in order to keep chasing leader Palmeiras.

As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover the details of the match valid for the 14th round of the Brasileirão through YouTube, as well as the website and social media. Finally, Rede Globo (free-to-air TV), GETV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.
