Daniel Sales fit, Filipe Luís to decide on derby appearance | OneFootball

Will Daniel Sales be included for the classic between Flamengo and Fluminense?

After impressing against Vasco on Wednesday (21), Daniel Sales experienced some pain, which raised concerns for Flamengo ahead of Sunday’s (25) match against Fluminense. However, an investigation by Coluna do Fla found that the full-back did not suffer any detected injury and may be available to play.

The youngster only felt some discomfort in his thigh, which took him out halfway through the classic against Vasco, but it is not considered serious. Thus, Filipe Luís will have the full-back at his disposal for the clash against the tricolor this Sunday (25). However, the coach will only decide whether to include the player after Saturday’s (24) training session.

And what if Daniel feels pain again?

In addition to Filipe Luís’ decision, the defender must feel comfortable enough to play or not. Once these points are aligned, the coach will reveal the squad list with or without the 19-year-old’s name.

Is Daniel important for Flamengo?

When the under-20 team represented the Rubro-Negro in the Campeonato Carioca, the team’s performance was below expectations. However, some youngsters, like Daniel, stood out. Not by chance, when the professionals debuted, the youth academy full-back remained among the starters.

So, Filipe Luís chose to improvise Daniel Sales at left-back against Vasco. His performance caught the attention of, for example, the idol Maestro Júnior, who advised the player to keep his feet on the ground to secure his place among the starting eleven.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Daniel Sales available, Flamengo faces Fluminense this Sunday (25), for the fourth round of the Carioca. The match kicks off at 6pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Coluna do Fla TV will cover the match details on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
