After another tactical training session this afternoon in Gávea, coach Caio Júnior practically confirmed his starting lineup for Sunday's match against Vasco at Maracanã. The only doubt is Kleberson, who was rested for two training sessions this week due to a severe case of the flu. Everton and Vandinho could get a chance.

"We'll wait for Kleberson. He had a fever today, and we'll wait until the day of the game to decide. We've trained three formations and are prepared. If he doesn't play, we have Everton and Vandinho. The important thing is that we trained well during the week, and the team is ready to put on a great performance."

The coach explained what changes to the team if midfielder Kleberson is unable to play.

"Kleberson is a player who drops down both flanks and shoots very well on goal. He also helps a lot in marking. With Everton, who is a very dynamic player, we win on the left, which is one of his strengths. With Vandinho, it changes more, because he's more of a striker, and Marcelinho Paraíba would be moved to midfield."
