Flamengo is making final adjustments to take the field this Sunday (25) against Fluminense in the fourth round of the Carioca. In search of a second consecutive victory, coach Filipe Luís will not be able to count on five players: Danilo, Ayrton Lucas, Saúl, De La Cruz and Arrascaeta.
While Saúl is recovering from surgery on his left ankle, De La Cruz and Danilo are undergoing special training due to injury treatment. Finally, Ayrton Lucas and Arrascaeta are not fit to play and continue following the Medical Department’s plan.
On the other hand, Flamengo does have a reinforcement to face Fluminense: Andrew. The second signing for Mengão in 2026, the goalkeeper has been registered in BIRA of the Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation (FERJ) and, therefore, can take the field this Sunday (25).
Flamengo: Andrew; Varela (Royal), Léo Ortiz, Vitão and Daniel Salles; Pulgar, Evertton Araújo and Carrascal; Luiz Araújo (Plata), Samuel Lino (Cebolinha) and Pedro (Bruno Henrique). Coach: Filipe Luís.
After three games without a win with the under-20 team, Flamengo achieved its first victory in the Carioca last Wednesday (21), against Vasco. Thus, Rubro-Negro is currently in fifth place in Group B, with four points earned.
The derby between Flamengo and Fluminense takes place this Sunday (25), in a match valid for the fourth round of the Carioca. Thus, the ball rolls at 6pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Fluminense through YouTube, the website and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca derby.
