Vasco will not have Rayan available, as the forward is close to transferring to Bournemouth (ENG). Thus, coach Fernando Diniz has decided on the athlete's replacement for the classic match against Flamengo on Wednesday (21), for the Carioca.
WHAT IS VASCO'S PROBABLE LINEUP FOR THE GAME AGAINST FLAMENGO?
Léo Jardim, Paulo Henrique, Cuesta, Robert Renan, Lucas Piton (Puma); Barros, Thiago Mendes, Coutinho; Andrés Gómez, Nuno Moreira, and GB (David).
This Tuesday (20), Fernando Diniz conducted the last activity before the match against Flamengo. Thus, GB was chosen to take on Rayan's role in Vasco's offensive system.
Yes! Forward Rayan is very close to becoming the newest addition to Bournemouth. In light of this million-dollar negotiation with the English team, which is worth over R$ 220 million at the current exchange rate, Vasco opted not to include the athlete for the classic. As a result, it is likely that the player will no longer play for the São Januário team.
Flamengo started the Carioca competition with the under-20 squad since the main team is undergoing pre-season. However, due to recent negative results, the Rubro-Negro is evaluating which professional players will return for the classic this Wednesday (21).
The game between Flamengo and Vasco takes place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (21), for the Carioca. In summary, the match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, provides the most Rubro-Negro coverage of the classic on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
