Flamengo block Corinthians from fielding player in Brasileirão clash | OneFootball

Flamengo and Corinthians face off in the eighth round of the Brasileirão at Neo Química Arena

Corinthians rested players against Chapecoense in the seventh round to use their full strength against Flamengo in the eighth. However, the Rubro-Negro has the “veto power” over Allan, a midfielder from Fla loaned to the São Paulo club.

The loan contract includes a clause that stipulates a fine for Corinthians to use the player against the Most Beloved. However, the team from Parque São Jorge chose not to pay the fee and, therefore, will not have the midfielder on Sunday (22). The information comes from the ID Corinthiana portal.

But is Allan a starter for Corinthians?

The midfielder joined Corinthians at the beginning of February. Since then, he has played ten games, starting in six of them. Against Chapecoense, for example, he played the full 90 minutes. It is most likely that Raniele will take his position.

Why did Flamengo loan Allan?

The Most Beloved signed the midfielder from Atlético-MG in 2023. However, he couldn't establish himself and also dealt with injuries. If Corinthians wants to purchase his rights at the end of the year, they will need to pay 2.5 million euros (about R$ 15.5 million) for 50% of the economic rights.

What is Flamengo's next game?

Without Allan, Flamengo will face Corinthians this Sunday (22). The match will take place at Maracanã, starting at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), for the eighth round of the Brasileirão. Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage.
