Flamengo's squad reconvened this Thursday morning in Gávea to finalize the details for Sunday's Fla-Flu clash at Maracanã. With Ibson, Juan, Léo Moura, and Airton suspended, and Fábio Luciano and Willians rested, Cuca confirmed a team full of new faces for the derby.

In the collective training session, the red-and-black coach fielded the starting lineup with: Bruno (Diego); Everton Silva, Welinton, Ronaldo Angelim, and Egídio; Toró, Jônatas, Kleberson, and Fierro; Erick Flores and Josiel. The reserves trained with: Diego, Léo Moura, Douglas, Thiago Salles, and Juan; Willians, Airton, Ibson, and Emerson; Maxi and Obina. The main team won the session 3-0, with two goals from Josiel and a beautiful strike from Jônatas. The surprise among the starters is Bruno, who, despite being suspended by the TJD for two matches, was selected with confidence in a stay of execution.

Zé Roberto and Obina, who are recovering from muscle injuries, are unlikely to play on Sunday. Midfielder Everton, who is experiencing pain in the back of his right thigh, is ruled out.
