Leonardo Jardim calls up academy talent for Flamengo v Bragantino | OneFootball

Which player will be included in Flamengo’s squad list against Bragantino?

Flamengo return to action this Thursday (02) to face Red Bull Bragantino. For the match, which takes place at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in Bragança Paulista, coach Leonardo Jardim called up a player from the club’s under-20 team. It is Daniel Sales.

Daniel Sales is a right back who is only 19 years old and has already played for Flamengo’s senior team this season. However, under Leonardo Jardim, this will be the first time the player has been included in the squad list.

It is important to note that Leonardo Jardim was still unfamiliar with Daniel Sales, since the full-back was with Flamengo’s under-20 team for the category’s Libertadores in Quito, Ecuador. After returning to Brazil, the player was called up to join the senior squad.

WILL DANIEL SALES START FOR FLAMENGO AGAINST BRAGANTINO IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?

It is important to point out that, even though he is among the call-ups, Daniel Sales is expected to be an option on the bench. The player could even appear as a kind of “joker” for Leonardo Jardim, since he can play both at right back and, as an improvised option, at left back.

Besides Daniel Sales, coach Leonardo Jardim only had Ayrton Lucas and Emerson Royal as full-back options in training during the FIFA international break. That is because Alex Sandro is still recovering from a muscle injury, and Varela was on international duty with Uruguay.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO VS BRAGANTINO IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?

With Daniel Sales available, Flamengo face Red Bull Bragantino at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in Bragança Paulista. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media. Finally, Rede Globo (free-to-air TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.
