Defender Fábio Luciano is coach Joel Santana's only doubt for Sunday's classic against Vasco, at Maracanã.

The player exercised in the pool today to alleviate the pain in his left thigh and be ready to play against Vasco. During this afternoon's training session at Gávea, Rodrigo Arroz and Thiago Sales were observed alongside Ronaldo Angelim in defense. "This is the team we already know. I'm just waiting to hear from the doctors about Fábio Luciano. Then I'll go with Rodrigo or Thiago," Joel explained. The Flamengo captain will continue treatment tomorrow and will be reevaluated on Sunday morning. "We'll wait until the day of the game to see how he responds to the treatment," commented doctor José Luiz Runco.
