After this afternoon's training session in Gávea, coach Joel Santana stated that he will only reveal the Flamengo team's lineup on Sunday, the day of the match.

"It's no mystery. We're taking 20 players to the training camp, and they're all fit to start the match. I'll talk to the coaching staff to choose the team. Everyone already knows more or less what our team's formation will be, but I'll only confirm the lineup on Sunday."

Joel recalled that the Gávea team is just two games away from the Carioca title, and that Sunday's match should be seen as a decisive one.

"The other teams have four games left, and Flamengo only two. We have to take that into consideration, and go onto the field on Sunday thinking not only about the Taça Rio, but also about the Campeonato Carioca."
