After this afternoon's collective training session at the Ninho do Urubu Training Center, coach Andrade couldn't hide his joy at the return of four starters for tomorrow's Fla-Flu match at Maracanã in the Copa Sudamericana. According to the coach, Petkovic, Emerson, David, and Airton will bring more experience to the red-and-black team.

"It's great to have these players. They'll bring more experience and chemistry to the team. I'll have Airton and Willians back, which will be important for our defense. Adriano's injury in training was a huge surprise because he's a player who doesn't get hurt often. But he'll be re-evaluated tomorrow and may play. But we certainly benefit greatly from the return of these more experienced players."
