Without Rayan, Vasco announce line-up for Flamengo clash in the Carioca | OneFootball

Vasco will not have their best player, Rayan, who is in negotiations with English football

Flamengo and Vasco face each other this Wednesday (21st), in the third round of the Campeonato Carioca. The rival team is already lined up for the classic, which kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The big absence will be Rayan, who is in the process of being sold to Bournemouth (ENG).

WHAT IS VASCO'S LINEUP FOR THE MATCH AGAINST FLAMENGO?

Starters: Léo Jardim, Paulo Henrique, Cuesta, Robert Renan, and Lucas Piton; Barros, Thiago Mendes, and Coutinho; Andrés Gómez, Nuno Moreira, and/or GB.

Besides Rayan, Vasco will also be without midfielder Jair, who is recovering from a serious knee injury suffered in September last year. As a result, the player is expected to return to training on the pitch only in the second half of the year.

The team led by coach Fernando Diniz has four points in the Campeonato Carioca. In their debut, the rival defeated Maricá 4-2. Later, with a mixed team and already thinking about Flamengo, the team drew 0-0 with Nova Iguaçu.

AND FLAMENGO?

After earning only one point in three games with players from the youth academy, Flamengo changed their plans and will now field their strongest lineup against Vasco. From the team that won the Libertadores four times, only Arrascaeta and Jorginho have been rested.

In addition, Danilo, Saúl, and De La Cruz require special attention regarding their physical and medical conditions, especially the Spaniard, who is on crutches after Achilles tendon surgery. Meanwhile, the latest signing, Andrew, was ultimately not registered in time.

WHERE TO WATCH FLAMENGO VS VASCO?

In summary, Globo (broadcast TV and most of Brazil), SporTV (cable TV), GETV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca classic starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (21st). However, the best and most Flamengo-focused coverage is from Coluna do Fla, on the website, on social media, and on YouTube.
