Rede Globo has selected its team to broadcast the match between Flamengo and Grêmio , this Sunday (31), for the Brazilian Championship. The duel will be shown on national television, with the exception of the state of São Paulo , which will follow Santos x Fluminense, live from Vila Belmiro.
In the Rubro-Negro game, the narration will be done by Gustavo Villani, while the comments will be made by Júnior and Roger Flores , a traditional duo in the broadcaster's broadcasts for games focused on the Rio de Janeiro public.
Interestingly, the match being shown in São Paulo will also feature familiar voices from Flamengo fans . Diego Ribas and Caio Ribeiro, both former Flamengo players, will be on commentary, forming a quartet of former Flamengo players working as commentators for Sunday's broadcasts.
While Globo is defining its broadcast team, Flamengo is still dealing with lineup uncertainty. Midfielder Jorginho developed muscle discomfort after the 8-0 rout of Vitória . Despite going to Ninho do Urubu on his day off to expedite his treatment, he felt pain again during the squad's return.
Tests carried out did not indicate any injury, but the player was spared from field activities and will be re-evaluated this Saturday (30). If he is not fit, Filipe Luís may select De La Cruz, Allan or Evertton Araújo as substitutes.
Regardless of Jorginho's presence, Flamengo takes to the field this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), against Grêmio, at Maracanã , for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. Rubro-Negro is the leader of the competition, with 46 points in 20 games, while Tricolor gaúcho occupies the 14th position, with 24 points.
Midfielder was reinstated at Mengão after returning from a loan with Göztepe, in Türkiye, and is of interest to Peixe to strengthen the squad

Flamengo has defined Victor Hugo's future . The 21-year-old midfielder will be loaned to Santos until December 2026. The player already has a trip scheduled for next Sunday (31), when he will be introduced to his new club in Baixada Santista. The negotiation was led by the club's president Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap), according to information from journalist Venê Casagrande.
The youngster's departure is part of Flamengo 's roster restructuring process, which seeks to optimize the squad and generate new revenue. In recent days, the club also completed the sale of Matheus Gonçalves to Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia and the loan of Lorran to Pisa in Italy . Now, the board is focusing its efforts on negotiations involving Michael and Juninho, who may be the next to leave Ninho do Urubu.
According to Venê Casagrande, Corinthians also attempted to sign Victor Hugo and held talks with his representatives and Flamengo . However, the midfielder opted for Santos, attracted mainly by the possibility of playing alongside Neymar, who is expected to strengthen the São Paulo club.
A product of Ninho, Victor Hugo was promoted to the professional team in 2022 and participated in the Copa do Brasil and Libertadores victories . Despite a promising start, he lost his place under Tite and was loaned to Turkish football.
Upon returning to Brazil, he nearly signed with Famalicão (POR), but the deal fell through. He still received a few opportunities under Filipe Luís, but failed to convince the coaching staff and would be underused that season.
Reinforcement signed this season, the striker believes that playing with the Mengão star is the same as playing alongside the Atlético de Madrid star.

Before defending Flamengo, Samuel Lino played for Atlético de Madrid (ESP) and received assists from Antoine Griezmann. At Rubro-Negro, the one who supplies him is the Uruguayan Arrascaeta . In an interview with FlamengoTV, released this Friday (29), the striker drew a parallel between the two stars .
Samuel Lino on Flamengo's Arrascaeta: "It's the same thing as playing with Griezmann"
"(Playing with Arrascaeta) is the same as playing with Griezmann (laughs). A lot of quality. I think they're quite similar, except one has a left leg and the other a right . Arrascaeta is easy to play with, very straightforward, an intelligent player. That's very clear on the pitch," said Samuel Lino.
The striker also highlighted how easy it is to connect with the number 10: "I really enjoy playing with him because he plays a lot of one-twos and gets close to create plays. His strongest points for me are his intelligence and experience . Sometimes he thinks too far ahead and makes passes with a running start, while I prefer to receive the ball at my feet (laughs)," he concluded.
In the 8-0 rout over Vitória, last Monday (25), the partnership shone. Right on the first goal, Arrascaeta provided the assist for Samuel Lino to open the scoring . In the third, the roles were reversed: the former Atlético de Madrid player passed to the Uruguayan, who finished with his left foot into the back of the net.
The connection between Samuel Lino and Arrascaeta could be decisive again this Sunday (31), in the match against Grêmio, at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã , for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast on Rede Globo, on open TV, and Premiere, on pay-per-view.

Coach Filipe Luís will lead Flamengo's last training session this Saturday (30), at 9:30 am (Brasília time), at Ninho do Urubu, before the match against Grêmio, valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The activity will serve to define the lineup that will enter the field on Sunday (31), at 4 pm, at Maracanã.
Filipe Luís is expected to maintain the core of the team that thrashed Vitória, as the week off allowed the squad to recover physically. The likely starting lineup includes: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, and Ayrton Lucas; Allan (Jorginho), Saúl, and Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro. The only question mark is in midfield:
Midfielder Jorginho didn't train this week due to muscle discomfort and will be re-evaluated this Saturday. If he's unfit, Allan is the favorite to take over. Evertton Araújo and De La Cruz appear as alternatives.
Two players are already out of the match. Erick Pulgar is still recovering from a metatarsal fracture he suffered during the Club World Cup, while Alex Sandro suffered a calf injury against Vitória and will be replaced by Ayrton Lucas at left back.
After four days of training, from Wednesday (27) to Saturday (30), Flamengo faces Grêmio in search of maintaining its isolated leadership of the Brasileirão . The match will be broadcast on TV Globo (open network) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
