Vasco lose player on the eve of Flamengo clash in the Carioca | OneFootball

Which Vasco player is out of the classic against Flamengo in the Carioca?

Flamengo is Vasco’s next opponent in the Campeonato Carioca. For the ‘Clássico dos Milhões’ this Wednesday (21), the São Januário team will not have Sforza available.

Sforza’s absence in the classic is due to Vasco having agreed to loan the player to Talleres (ARG). The club had been looking for a new team for the Argentine since his return from Juventude at the end of the 2025 season. Without space under Fernando Diniz, the player ended up not having many opportunities.

DOES VASCO HAVE MORE ABSENCES FOR THE MATCH AGAINST FLAMENGO IN THE CARIOCA?

Yes! In addition to Sforza, Vasco will also be without Rayan, one of the team’s key players. This is because the forward will be rested, as he is close to being sold to Bournemouth (ENG). The other absence will be Maxime Dominguez, who will play in Polish football this season.

HOW IS FLAMENGO ARRIVING FOR THE MATCH AGAINST VASCO IN THE CARIOCA?

Flamengo started the Carioca competition by fielding their under-20 squad. However, after negative results, the Football Department met this Tuesday (20) and decided to bring back the main squad. Thus, coach Filipe Luís will be on the sidelines for the classic this Wednesday (21).

WHEN IS THE FLAMENGO VS VASCO MATCH IN THE CARIOCA?

The match between Flamengo and Vasco takes place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (21), at Maracanã. Coluna do Fla TV will provide detailed coverage of the classic with the most Flamengo-focused on-site coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
