However, in the official list, Carlo Ancelotti chose not to call Flamengo players. The first commitment of the Brazilian National Team takes place next Friday (10), against South Korea, while the second game takes place against Japan, on October 14th.

What are Carrascal's numbers?

Flamengo confirmed the signing of Carrascal in the last transfer window. On that occasion, the red-black board paid out 12 million euros (R$ 77 million at the time) to Dynamo Moscow (RUS).

Since then, Carrascal has played in eight games with the Flamengo shirt, scoring one goal and three assists. In addition, in recent matches, the midfielder has been highly praised by the red-black fans, gaining a place in Flamengo's starting lineup.

What is Flamengo's next match?

With Carrascal available, Flamengo begins preparation to face Bahia this Sunday (05). The match takes place at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Arena Fonte Nova, in a match valid for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Thus, as tradition dictates, the Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website and social networks. However, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo x Bahia match.
