After landing in Rio de Janeiro last night, the Flamengo squad returned to training this Friday afternoon in Gávea. The red-and-black team is preparing for Sunday's decisive match against Fluminense at the Maracanã stadium.

Coach Cuca led a tactical drill, with 13 players for each team. The starting lineup included: Diego; Léo Moura, Welinton, Angelim, Fábio Luciano, and Juan; Aírton, Willians, Kleberson, Ibson, and Erick Flores; Josiel and Emerson. The reserves included: Marcelo Lomba, Egídio, Thiago Sales, Douglas, and Jorbison; Lenon, Guilherme Camacho, Fierro, Everton, and Alex Cruz; Maxi, Paulo Sérgio, and Obina.

Everton Silva, with muscle pain, worked separately. The right-back will be reevaluated tomorrow. Zé Roberto only walked laps around the field.

After training, Cuca stated that he will only announce the official lineup moments before the classic.

"I have 15 players fully capable of playing in the Fla-Flu. I'll keep this in mind until 45 minutes before the game. I already know who will play, but I'll only announce it on the day. It's not all mystery, but I don't want to rush into things. Everton Silva is in pain, and I'll wait until tomorrow to see how he's doing. The important thing is that we have 15 starting players who participated in the entire state championship campaign. I'll choose 11 of those 15."
