The red-and-black coach received good news this Thursday. Midfielder Roger has been regularized and is fit to play next Sunday against Corinthians at Morumbi Stadium.

"We've gained another great addition to the team. With his arrival, along with Ibson and Maxi, Flamengo is even stronger," he assured.

Ney Franco will only decide whether Roger starts playing against Corinthians, on Saturday, after training.

"I hope to use the player at the right time. I'll wait until the last minute to decide," he concluded.

This Friday, the coach will lead a technical training session in Gávea, at 15:30 pm.
