Flamengo lineup: team that will face Vasco - starter or under-20? - News Room USA

Flamengo is uncertain about the team it will field against Vasco, this Wednesday (20), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã. With the bad start in Carioca, having three defeats in three games playing with the under-20 team, Rubro-Negro is thinking about changing the planning and placing athletes from the professional team in the classic.

But is this already defined? When will this definition be released? What will be the lineup? THE Sporting News show.

Will Flamengo play with its starters against Vasco?

The decision on which team will take to the field against Vasco will only be made after training this Tuesday, at Ninho do Urubu, the last one before the game. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the training session that was scheduled for 4pm, was held at 4:30pm, precisely because of a meeting to decide whether the main team or the under-20 team will play.

The meeting, according to the reporter, was attended by football director José Boto, the technical committee and coach Filipe Luis. For now, there is no definition about the players who will play.

If the main team is selected, names like Emerson Royal, Ayrton Lucas, Allan, Evertton Araújo, Michael and Everton Cebolinha could be options for the confrontation against Vasco. A likely team has: Léo Nannetti; Daniel Salles (Emerson Royal), Iago, João Victor, Gusttavo (Ayrton Lucas); Pablo Lúcio (Evertton Araújo), Kaio Nóbrega (Allan), Guilherme Gomes; Douglas Telles, Alan Santos (Michael) and Joshua (Everton Cebolinha).

There is a meeting in progress, at the moment, at Ninho do Urubu, between José Boto, the technical committee and Filipe Luis, to hammer out the list of related players for the game against Vasco. The last training session before the classic will be this afternoon too.
