Flamengo boosted for Fluminense clash in the Carioca | OneFootball

What was the reason that prevented Andrew from making his debut for Flamengo?

By: Rodrigo Lima

Flamengo has gained a reinforcement for the next match in the Carioca. This is because goalkeeper Andrew had his registration regularized in the BIRA of the Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation (FERJ) and, as a result, can make his debut against Fluminense on Sunday (25th) at Maracanã.

The delay in Andrew's registration in the BIRA happened because Flamengo was unable to obtain the goalkeeper's documentation before the Rio de Janeiro city holiday, which took place on Tuesday (20th). Therefore, even though he was regularized in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin, the goalkeeper could not take the field against Vasco on Wednesday (21st).

Even though he missed the ‘Clássico dos Milhões’, Andrew was present at Maracanã and was introduced to the Flamengo fans before the match began. The ceremony took place during the warm-up of the rubro-negro players on the Maracanã pitch.

HOW HAS ANDREW'S START AT FLAMENGO BEEN?

Andrew was the second reinforcement announced by Flamengo in this transfer window. The goalkeeper arrived to compete for the position with Rossi, who has been the undisputed starter in recent seasons.

It's important to note that Andrew was playing for Gil Vicente (POR), with the European season in full swing. Thus, the goalkeeper arrived in top physical condition and is ready to make his debut for Flamengo.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH IN THE CARIOCA?

With Andrew available, Flamengo faces Fluminense in a match valid for the fourth round of the Carioca. In short, the ball rolls at 6pm (Brasília time) this Sunday (25th) at Maracanã. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the match with the most rubro-negro on-site coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
