Without Pedro, coach Vítor Pereira should choose to reinforce the midfield of the Flamengo. The tendency is for Gerson to return to the starting lineup in the classic with Vascothis Sunday, at 6:10 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, at Carioca Championship.
The striker is recovering from pain in his left thigh and has not been training with the squad. Thus, it will be embezzled for this Sunday’s duel. With the shirt number 9 out of action, Gabigol returns to occupy the reference position of the red-black attack.
Vítor Pereira, thus, makes one more attempt to find solutions for Flamengo, with Gerson and Vidal as a midfielder duo, while Thiago Maia retreats and gives freedom to Ayrton Lucas on the left.
The probable Flamengo for the classic with Vasco is the following: Saints; Fabrício Bruno, David Luiz and Thiago Maia; Varela, Vidal, Gerson and Ayrton Lucas; Everton Ribeiro and Arrascaeta; Gabigol.
Flamengo comes from yet another frustration at the beginning of 2023 – the vice-championship of CONMEBOL Cup Winners’ Cup. Already classified for the semifinals of Carioca, the rubro-black can win the Guanabara Cup, title of the State classification phase. For that, just beat Vasco. If Fluminensethis Saturday, do not win the banguo Fla secure the title with a tie.
