SUBSTITUTES: Andrew, Dyogo Alves, Emerson Royal, Danilo, Vitão, Ayrton Lucas, De La Cruz, Luiz Felipe, Carrascal, Luiz Araújo, Bruno Henrique and Wallace Yan.
Flamengo head into the derby with four absences. As a result, Saúl, who is recovering from heel surgery, and Pulgar, with an injury to the acromioclavicular joint in his right shoulder, are out of the match.
In addition, Jorginho, who is being treated for a muscle injury in his left calf, and Everton Cebolinha, who is recovering from a rib fracture, will also miss out for the Rubro-Negro side. Therefore, Leonardo Jardim will have to manage some key absences for the clash.
On the other hand, the coach welcomes back Alex Sandro. The left back, who had been out since March 22 after suffering a right hamstring injury, has recovered and will start this Sunday (12).
At 6:00 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (12), Flamengo and Fluminense face off at the Maracanã in the 11th round of the Brasileirão.
