Wallace Yan sparks playful rivalry with Paquetá before Flamengo v Bahia

Wallace Yan has stoked a light-hearted rivalry with Lucas Paquetá over kite-flying after Flamengo training, on the eve of Flamengo v Bahia this Sunday.

According to Coluna Do Fla, the forward posted an Instagram video on Saturday (18) showing the contest with Paquetá and said their series stands at 2-2. The first time they shared the pastime, the midfielder came out on top.

Before flying kites, both took part as normal in Leonardo Jardim's session at CT Ninho do Urubu. The pair should be included in the squad to face Bahia.

They will take part in Sunday's (19) activation session, held hours before kick-off. In the match, Paquetá should start for Flamengo, while Wallace Yan is expected to be among the substitutes.

Flamengo v Bahia kicks off at 19:30 Brasília time on Sunday (19) at the Maracanã in the 12th round of the Brasileirão. Premiere pay-per-view will broadcast the game.
