Silas still hasn't confirmed Flamengo's lineup
Juan is out, Willians returns and the team should maintain a formation with three defensive midfielders on Sunday
By From the team at Flamengo's official website - inFlamengo has not yet selected its squad for Sunday's (September 19.09) derby against Fluminense at the Engenhão stadium. However, coach Silas has already given some indications of how he intends to line up his team for the match. Unsurprisingly, the coach will be without Juan, who is injured, but will have the return of Wilians, who has recovered from injury. It appears that the left-back will be the only player missing from the Gávea team for the match.
\"Juan is definitely out of this game, but Williams is fine. In any case, the good news is that we believe we are turning a corner on this sad situation," he emphasized.
With Willians' return, Kleberson is expected to lose his starting spot compared to recent games. This should be the only change based on the team that faced Grêmio Prudente.
"I'm not going to invent anything in the lineup. It's possible to play in any way we've played. In any case, Corinthians played against Fluminense with three defensive midfielders and won. Guarani and Atlético-GO also opted for this formation and were successful," he added.
The expectation is that Flamengo will enter the field with Marcelo Lomba, Léo Moura, Jean, Angelim and Alvim; Toró, Willians, Correa and Renato, Diogo and Deivid.
