Arrascaeta out, Filipe Luís names Flamengo XI for Vasco clash | OneFootball

Flamengo has two absences to face Vasco

The ball is about to roll for another ‘Clássico dos Milhões’ in the 2025 season. This Sunday (21), Flamengo and Vasco will face each other at Maracanã, for the 24th round of the Brasileirão. With the match in mind, coach Filipe Luís has decided on the starting lineup for Mengão.

What is Flamengo’s lineup?

Starters: Rossi; Royal, Danilo, Léo Ortiz and Ayrton Lucas; Saúl, Allan and Carrascal; Plata, Cebolinha and Bruno Henrique.

Substitutes:

Flamengo has two absences for this Sunday’s (21) derby: Erick Pulgar and Jorginho. The Chilean is still recovering after a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, while the Italo-Brazilian has recovered from muscle pain in his thigh but remains in physical transition.

Does Mengão have any returns?

On the other hand, Flamengo has an important return to face Vasco: Alex Sandro. The full-back hadn’t played since the 8-0 rout against Vitória on August 25. That’s because, in that match, the player suffered a muscle injury in his left calf.

How are Flamengo and Vasco doing in the Brasileirão?

Flamengo, at this moment, remains at the top of the Brasileirão, with 50 points. In the meantime, Filipe Luís’s team has 15 wins, five draws, and two losses. On the other hand, Vasco is fighting against relegation and sits in 15th place, with 23 points.

When do Flamengo and Vasco play?

The derby between Flamengo and Vasco takes place at 5:30 pm (Brasília time) this Sunday (21). The match, which will be held at Maracanã, is valid for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV), Premiere (pay-per-view), and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs Vasco match.
