Filipe Luís on using internationals in derby with Fluminense | OneFootball

Seven Flamengo players were called up during this FIFA Date

Flamengo had a series of absences to face Sport this Saturday (15th), for the postponed 12th round of the Brasileirão. In addition to the injured players, seven Rubro-Negro players were called up during this FIFA Date. After the 5-1 victory, coach Filipe Luís commented on the use of the athletes against Fluminense.

— Honestly? I don’t know. Carrascal plays on Monday. We don’t have any natural midfielders without them (Arrascaeta and Carrascal). During the week, we ran some tests, I chose this lineup today. We’ll see about the recoveries of Allan, Pedro, Jorginho, all the players in the medical department,” he said, before concluding:

— I think it’s unlikely for the Fla-Flu and unlikely that the called-up players will arrive in top shape. But I have no doubt that some of them will make themselves available to help, they’re young. Depending on how they arrive, I’ll try to make the best decision. It will be whatever I think is best to face Fluminense,” Filipe Luís concluded.

Which Flamengo players were called up?

Initially, coach Carlo Ancelotti called up Danilo and Alex Sandro for the Brazilian National Team. In addition, Arrascaeta, Varela, and Matías Viña joined the Uruguayan squad. Finally, Carrascal was called up by Colombia, while Gonzalo Plata is representing Ecuador.

Did Flamengo set up a strategy for the called-up players?

It’s worth noting that Flamengo plans to charter a flight to have the following players available against Fluminense: Varela, Matías Viña, Arrascaeta, Carrascal and Plata. This is because the athletes will be playing for their respective national teams in North America, making travel easier.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo is already thinking about the next match of the season. Thus, on Wednesday (19th), Filipe Luís’s team faces Fluminense, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 34th round of the championship.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air channel) and SporTV (cable channel) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Fluminense match.
