HOW IS FLAMENGO HEADING INTO THE MATCH AGAINST FLUMINENSE IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?

It is important to note that Flamengo face Fluminense after a “marathon” in the Libertadores. That is because the Rubro-Negro’s return from Cusco, Peru, ended up being delayed and, because of that, the squad only arrived late on Thursday night (09).

Because of this, Flamengo submitted a request to the CBF to reschedule the derby, which had originally been set for this Saturday (11). With Fluminense agreeing, Brazilian football’s governing body moved the match to Sunday (12), at 6:00 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Maracanã.
