Coach Caio Júnior has two problems ahead of the Fla-Flu derby next Sunday at Maracanã. Midfielders Airton and Ibson received their third yellow cards in the 1-1 draw with Internacional and are suspended for the match.

For the derby, Caio Júnior is expected to have forward Vandinho back, who has recovered from a muscle strain in his right thigh. In addition to Vandinho, the coach is expected to have Sambueza, Everton, Josiel, Fernando, and Fernandão available as Flamengo's new signings for the Brazilian Championship.
