Out of the BID! Anthony Valencia and Joaquín Freitas delay Flamengo debut

In addition to Anthony and Joaquín, the trio of De La Cruz, Alex Sandro, and Vitão is still recovering physically

Anthony Valencia and Joaquín Freitas will miss Flamengo’s match against Mirassol. Therefore, the duo of new signings did not have their names registered in time in the BID of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). The match takes place this Wednesday (02), starting at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Maracanã.

Valencia and Freitas will not play against Mirassol

To register a player’s name in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID) of the CBF, the National Regulation on the Registration and Transfer of Football Players sets the review deadline. The regulatory period for the name to appear in the BID is up to 48 hours.

Flamengo only announced the signing of the duo this Tuesday (01). Therefore, the 48-hour deadline will not expire in time for the clash against Mirassol. In this way, Anthony Valencia and Joaquín Freitas remain unavailable for an immediate debut.

Anthony Valencia, a 23-year-old right winger, cost 5 million euros, around R$30 million. Joaquín Freitas, a 19-year-old forward, was signed for 7 million euros. That amounts to R$42 million for 80% of the youngster’s economic rights.

Four other players will also be absent for Flamengo

In addition to the newly signed duo, Nico De La Cruz, Alex Sandro, and Vitão will also be unavailable for the team. However, these three cases have a different reason, linked exclusively to physical issues. As a result, Flamengo has five absences in total for the match against Mirassol.

Flamengo will also be without Gonzalo Plata, who failed his medical exams at Dynamo Moscow (RUS). So, the Ecuadorian will return to the Rubro-Negro squad, but not in time to face Mirassol.

Date, time, and venue of the match between Flamengo and Mirassol

Flamengo and Mirassol face each other this Wednesday (02), starting at 7:30 p.m., at the Maracanã. Therefore, the match is valid for the postponed fourth round of the Brazilian Championship. The game had been rescheduled in the national competition calendar.

Expectations for the new signings’ debut in the coming rounds

With the BID deadline already underway, Anthony Valencia and Joaquín Freitas should be registered soon. Thus, the tendency is for both to be available against Remo on Sunday (06), in the 26th round of the Brasileirão.

The author’s opinion on Anthony and Joaquín’s situation

It was difficult for both to be available the very next day after the announcement, but that’s not a problem. Colossal’s squad is still perfectly qualified. There’s no need to rush their debuts,” said João Vítor Reis of Coluna do Fla.
