Aiming to secure their first victory in the Campeonato Carioca, Flamengo takes to the field this Saturday (17th) against Volta Redonda. For the second-round match, the red-black team will have changes in both attack and defense.
Léo Nannetti; Daniel Salles, Iago, João Victor, Gusttavo; Pablo Lúcio, Lucas Vieira, Guilherme Gomes; Douglas Telles, Joshua, and David Viana (Alan Santos).
A starter in Flamengo's first matches in the Campeonato Carioca, Wallace Yan was sold to Red Bull Bragantino. With the forward's departure, David Viana and Alan Santos are competing for the spot in the attack for the Rubro-Negro this Saturday (17th).
The main squad of Flamengo has been in pre-season training at CT Ninho do Urubu since last Monday (12th). Therefore, the club has been using the under-20 team in the first rounds of the Campeonato Carioca, under the guidance of Bruno Pivetti.
Besides not having Wallace Yan, Flamengo will have an absence due to injury. Johnny Góes underwent surgery after suffering a left shoulder injury. Thus, Gusttavo is expected to take the starting position.
Flamengo faces Volta Redonda at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday (17th), at Estádio Raulino de Oliveira, for the second round of the Campeonato Carioca. The match will be broadcast on SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
