Flamengo is approaching another commitment this season. This Sunday (22), the Rubro-Negro faces Madureira at Maracanã, for the first leg of the Campeonato Carioca semifinal. For the match, coach Filipe Luís has two confirmed absences and is still awaiting the condition of another player.
Saúl remains out as he recovers from surgery on his left ankle. Additionally, Jorginho has been diagnosed with a left hamstring injury and will also not be available.
Wallace Yan did not play in Flamengo's last game, in the Recopa Sudamericana, due to muscle pain. However, the young forward participated in the group activity this Saturday (21). Thus, he has a chance to be an option for Filipe Luís in the match against Madureira.
Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (22), when they face Madureira. Thus, the match kicks off at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The game is crucial for gaining an advantage in the fight for a spot in the final of the Campeonato Carioca.
As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the duel, valid for the first leg of the state competition's semifinal, through YouTube, as well as the website and social media. Finally, Globo (free-to-air TV), SporTV (cable channel), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.
