CBF set to reschedule Flamengo and Palmeiras matches in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Why is the CBF considering changing the dates of Flamengo and Palmeiras games?

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is considering changing the dates of the Palmeiras vs Atlético-MG and Flamengo vs Fluminense matches. These games are scheduled for November 19 and 20, respectively, following the FIFA Date.

This is because Atlético-MG, which is in the final of the South American Cup, needs to be in Asunción, Paraguay, by the night of November 19. For this reason, the CBF is trying to schedule the match against Palmeiras for the same day, but in the afternoon.

As a result, the Flamengo game, which is scheduled for November 19, would be held on the 20th (Thursday). However, the CBF understands that there might not be enough time to make the change in time. This information comes from journalist Paulo Vinícius Coelho.

Would a change in the game date be good for Flamengo?

It is worth noting that if the match against Fluminense is rescheduled for Thursday (20th), it would be excellent for Flamengo. This is because the Most Beloved could be significantly weakened against the Laranjeiras rival due to players called up for the FIFA Date.

Which Flamengo players have been called up by their respective national teams?

Plata, Alex Sandro, Danilo, and Carrascal have already been called up by their respective national teams. Additionally, Arrascaeta, Varela, Viña, and De La Cruz are on Uruguay's preliminary list and have a good chance of being called up.
