Flamengo's squad returned to training Monday afternoon in Gávea to begin preparations for Wednesday's 22 p.m. match against Boavista at the Maracanã Stadium. With the red-and-black team already guaranteed a spot in the Guanabara Cup semifinals, coach Cuca is expected to field a significantly modified team.

In today's tactical training session, Flamengo's manager gave some clues about the team that will take the field. In the movement and ball handling session, Ronaldo Angelim, Fábio Luciano, and Douglas formed the defensive trio. On the wings, Everton and Everton Silva. Toró, Kleberson, and Jônatas were deployed in midfield, with Zé Roberto and Josiel up front.

The rest of the squad participated in a training session on a reduced-size field. The absentees were goalkeeper Bruno, who was excused from training to deal with personal issues in Minas Gerais, and Chilean Fierro, who is on international duty. Juan, with pain in his right leg, underwent physical therapy.
