Flamengo faces Vasco on Wednesday night (21st), at Maracanã, for the third round of the Campeonato Carioca. The Cruzmaltino promises to field their strongest lineup, even though coach Fernando Diniz has two absences for the derby.
Coach Fernando Diniz has his main players available for the match against Flamengo. However, the coach will be without Rayan (in negotiations to be sold) and Jair (medical department).
Flamengo, on the other hand, has four confirmed absences. They are Saúl, De la Cruz, Danilo, and Andrew. Aside from that, all other players are available to coach Filipe Luís for the upcoming derby at Maracanã.
Currently, Flamengo is at the bottom of Group B, with only one point earned. O Mais Querido drew with Portuguesa and lost to Bangu and Volta Redonda. Therefore, the Rubro-Negro needs a win to fight for a spot in the next stage.
The match between Flamengo and Vasco will be broadcast on Rede Globo (free-to-air channel), Premiere (pay-per-view), and GETV on YouTube. In addition, Coluna do Fla brings all the details of the match through social media.
