Flamengo and Fluminense face off in the grand final of the Campeonato Carioca this Sunday (08), at Maracanã, starting at 6 PM (Brasília time). For the state classic, the tricolor team has already set the lineup.
Starters: Fábio, Samuel Xavier, Jemmes, Freytes, and Renê; Hércules, Martinelli, and Lucho Acosta; Serna, Canobbio, and John Kennedy.
Substitutes: Pitaluga, Vitor Eudes, Ignácio, Ganso, Savarino, Arana, Igor Rabello, Guga, Santi Moreno, Wesley Natã, Keven Samuel, and Otávio.
Coach Luis Zubeldía will not have five players available to field the team from Laranjeiras. This is because midfielder Facundo Bernal is recovering from a partial tear of the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Additionally, Soteldo has an eye problem.
Finally, forward Rodrigo Castillo, defender Julan Millán, and midfielder Alisson, who are new additions to the team, are not registered in the Campeonato Carioca. Otherwise, the Argentine coach will have the rest of the players available.
The ball rolls at 6 PM (Brasília time) for Flamengo and Fluminense this Sunday (08), at Maracanã, for the final of the Campeonato Carioca. If the match ends in a draw in regular time, the title decision will go directly to penalties.
