After the competition ended, Daniel Sales had some time off and showed up again in training this Monday (30) at CT Ninho do Urubu. As a result, this is Leonardo Jardim’s first contact with the 19-year-old youngster.

WHAT IS DANIEL SALES’ SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Right back Daniel Sales played in Flamengo’s first three matches in the Carioca, when the team was made up of under-20 players. After that, the player got an opportunity under Filipe Luís and featured in the derby against Vasco, still in the state championship. Overall, the youngster has played in four senior matches in 2026 and has one assist.

WILL DANIEL SALES BE CALLED UP FOR FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

At the moment, Flamengo is dealing with a shortage of right backs, since Danilo and Varela are representing Brazil and Uruguay, respectively. Given this situation, the chances of Leonardo Jardim including Daniel Sales in the squad for Rubro-Negro’s next match of the season increase.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

Flamengo’s next match will be against Bragantino this Thursday (02), in the ninth round of the Brasileirão. In short, the ball gets rolling at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) in Bragança Paulista. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.
