Flamengo weigh senior reinforcements for Vasco clássico as Luis Enrique praises Filipe Luís | OneFootball

Flamengo, in a delicate spot in the Campeonato Carioca, are weighing senior reinforcements for the Vasco clássico as Luis Enrique offered praise for the club and Filipe Luís.

"Flamengo are very difficult. Has Filipe Luís renewed? He is very good," said the PSG manager, speaking to TNT Sports Brasil on Monday after recalling December's Club World Cup, which his side won on penalties.

With the state campaign being handled by an alternative side, the football department is studying sending first-team players to bolster the group. Emerson Royal, Ayrton Lucas, Allan, Evertton Araújo, Michael and Everton Cebolinha could feature against Vasco.

The final training session is scheduled for Tuesday at 16:30, Brasília time, when the staff are due to settle the starting XI for the third round.

Under-20 and senior squads are working simultaneously at Ninho do Urubu as preparations conclude for the meeting with Vasco.
