WHAT HAPPENED WITH MATHEUS CUNHA AT FLAMENGO?

Matheus Cunha was the immediate backup for Rossi at Flamengo. The goalkeeper even traveled with the team for the World Cup. However, the club allowed him to return to Brazil to be present for the birth of his child.

Due to the close dates, Flamengo did not have Matheus Cunha return to Doha, Qatar. Finally, it is worth noting that the goalkeeper is in the final stretch of his time with Mengão, as his contract will not be renewed at the end of the season. The goalkeeper has already signed a pre-contract with Cruzeiro.

WHO IS ROSSI'S BACKUP IN THE WORLD CUP?

Without the presence of Matheus Cunha, Dyogo Alves became Rossi's backup. The goalkeeper, a product of Ninho, joined the World Cup squad after playing in the match against Mirassol in the last round of the Brasileirão.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH IN THE WORLD CUP?

Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (17) in pursuit of their second world championship. PSG (FRA) will be Mengão's opponent in the final. The match kicks off at 2 PM (Brasília time), in Doha, Qatar.

As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will provide all the information from the final with on-site coverage by Simon Lédo on YouTube, on social media, and on the website. Additionally, Rede Globo (open channel), SporTV (cable), GETV, and CazéTV (YouTube) will also broadcast the match.
