After returning to the top of the Brasileirão, Flamengo will have another important commitment ahead. With an eye on staying at the top of the table, Mengão will be looking for victory in the classic against Fluminense, which takes place on Sunday (23), at 16 pm, at Maracanã, for the 11th round of the national competition.

Coach Tite led the final tactical training session on Saturday morning (22), at Ninho do Urubu, and practically defined the team that will take to the field against the Tricolor. In addition to the absences of athletes Arrascaeta, De La Cruz, Viña, Varela and Erick Pulgar, who are on duty with their national teams in the Copa América, the red-black commander will have another absence. Striker Everton Cebolinha was diagnosed with a right hip injury and will continue treatment in the Medical Department. On the other hand, defender Fabrício Bruno is available after serving a suspension for a third yellow card.

The Flamengo-Flu duo has faced each other 42 times in the Brasileirão during the "running points era," with Flamengo having the upper hand. Flamengo has won 17 times, drawn 11, and triumphed 14 times. The teams have faced each other three times this season, both in the Campeonato Carioca. Flamengo has prevailed twice, defeating Flamengo by the same score (2-0) and drawing 0-0 once.
