Flamengo will face Fluminense this Sunday (08), starting at 6:00 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in a match that will decide the Campeonato Carioca trophy. For this match, the team from Laranjeiras has four confirmed absences.
This is because midfielder Facundo Bernal is currently in Fluminense’s medical department. On the other hand, forward Rodrigo Castillo, defender Julan Millán, and midfielder Alisson, who are new signings for the team, were not registered for the Campeonato Carioca.
Thus, coach Luís Zubeldía is not expected to make major changes to Fluminense. The coach intends to use the base team. One of the changes is the inclusion of Ignácio in place of Freytes, who is not going through a great phase with the team.
In this way, Luís Zubeldía plans to field Fluminense in an offensive manner. Thus, the rivals should take the field as follows: Fábio; Samuel Xavier, Jemmes, Ignácio and Renê; Otávio, Martinelli and Savarino; Serna, Canobbio and John Kennedy.
Flamengo will face Fluminense this Sunday (08), at 6:00 PM (Brasília time), for the final of the Campeonato Carioca, at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla will bring all the information about the match directly from the stadium.
