The Flamengois already preparing the debut of two important reinforcements for the classic against Vasco, next Sunday (15), in the Brazilian Championship: Alex Sandro and Gonzalo Plata. The new members of the red and black squad could be fundamental in the search for good results in the final stretch of the season. Between the two, the greatest expectations are around left-back Alex Sandro, who arrives with the status of immediate starter, mainly due to the lack of options for the position.

Ayrton Lucas, who had been the starter at left-back, is suspended and will not be able to play in the classic. Furthermore, Matias Viña, another full-back in the squad, suffered an injury that will leave him sidelined for the rest of the year, which makes Alex Sandro's entry into the team even more urgent. The player, who was recently signed by Juventus, from Italy, has extensive international experience and arrives at Flamengowith the mission of solving the gap left by injured and suspended teammates.

FLAMENGO HAS ITS MAIN WEAPON 

However, Despite high expectations, Alex Sandro has not taken the field since suffering a muscle injury while still playing for Juventus, which raises doubts about his physical condition for such an important game. Flamengo's technical committee is working to get him in shape and assess whether he will be able to play the 90 minutes against Vasco. Coach Tite knows the importance of having a full-back with Alex Sandro's experience, especially in a rivalry game like this, but he should not force the athlete beyond his physical limit.

Alongside Alex Sandro, the other highlight is Gonzalo Plata, an Ecuadorian striker who was recently signed. Plata has been closely monitored by the technical team and is in the final stages of adapting to Flamengo. He is seen as an important piece in the offensive sector, with the ability to play on the sides of the field and contribute with speed and skill in baseline plays. His debut is also highly anticipated, as the player is coming off good performances for Real Valladolid, in Spain, and has characteristics that can add to the red and black team, especially at a time of adjustments in the team.
