After a day off, the red-black squad returned on Thursday afternoon (22), at Ninho do Urubu, and began preparing for the classic against Fluminense, which takes place next Sunday (25), at 16 pm, at Maracanã. The game is valid for the 10th round of the Campeonato Carioca.

The players took to the field for technical and tactical training under Tite's command. The coach will have two more sessions to determine the team that will take the field in the Fla-Flu match. Midfielder Gerson continues to recover from a kidney infection. Meanwhile, Chilean Erick Pulgar returned to training normally with the squad and is likely to be selected for the match.

If they beat their rival, Flamengo will be on course to win the Guanabara Cup. It's worth noting that in the final round, Flamengo will face Madureira.
