Fluminense boosted by key player for Flamengo clash in Carioca final | OneFootball

Who Will Be Available Again for Fluminense in the Match Against Flamengo?

Fluminense will have an important return for the final of the Carioca. This Wednesday (04), coach Zubeldía did not have his suspension extended in court and, as a result, will be on the sidelines for the match against Flamengo this Sunday (08) at Maracanã.

Zubeldía was on trial due to an incident involving referee Jodis Nascimento de Souza. On that occasion, the referee claimed to have "felt offended" by the coach’s behavior when he was sent off.

In the hearing held this Wednesday (04), Zubeldía was handed the minimum penalty of a one-match suspension, which he already served in the second leg against Vasco in the semifinal of the Carioca. Therefore, the coach is cleared to be on the sidelines for the match against Flamengo in the State Championship final.

DID FLUMINENSE ANNOUNCE NEW SIGNINGS BEFORE THE CARIOCA FINAL?

Yes! Before the final of the Carioca, Fluminense announced the signings of forward Rodrigo Castillo, formerly of Lanús (ARG), and defender Julián Milán, formerly of Nacional (URU). However, it’s important to note that the duo will not be available on Sunday (08), as their names have not yet been registered.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION AHEAD OF THE MATCH AGAINST FLUMINENSE IN THE CARIOCA?

In addition, the Rubro-Negro is also facing internal pressure, which led to the dismissal of coach Filipe Luís. For the final, it is expected that Leonardo Jardim will already be the new manager of Mengão.

The match between Flamengo and Fluminense will take place at 6:00 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (08) at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will provide detailed coverage of the match on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media channels.
