For the derby, coach Filipe Luís will likely have Jorginho back, who has recovered from a muscle injury in his right thigh. The Flamengo manager is also waiting for the players who were called up for international duty to return to see if they will be fit to play. 

After experiencing muscle pain during training last Tuesday (18), striker Pedro underwent an imaging exam this morning and a muscle injury in his left thigh was confirmed. He has already started treatment with the club's Medical Department. The athlete also underwent a control x-ray on his right forearm, which showed signs of consolidation of the ulna fracture. 

Retrospect

Flamengo and Fluminense have faced each other 456 times throughout the history of the rivalry, with Flamengo holding the advantage. They have won 167 times, drawn 147, and Fluminense has won 142. In the first round of this year's Brasileirão, Flamengo won 1-0 at the Maracanã, with a goal by Pedro.
