Flamengo and Fluminense face each other this Sunday (08), in a match worth the Campeonato Carioca title. The ball rolls at Maracanã at 6pm (Brasília time). For the classic, coach Luis Zubeldía has outlined the probable starting lineup.
Fábio, Samuel Xavier, Jemmes, Freytes and Renê; Hércules, Martinelli and Lucho Acosta; Serna, Canobbio and John Kennedy.
For the match, the Laranjeiras team has four confirmed absences. This is because midfielder Facundo Bernal is recovering from a partial tear of the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. In addition, forward Rodrigo Castillo, defender Julan Millán, and midfielder Alisson, who are new signings for the team, are not registered for the Campeonato Carioca.
Rede Globo (open TV), SporTV (cable channel), GeTV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the classic. The ball starts rolling at 6pm (Brasília time).
