Fla the referee didn't leave any good memories. In the final of the 2017 Campeonato Carioca, where both teams were also competing for the team, Wagner do Nascimento was accused by Tricolor fans of celebrating a goal by Paolo Guerrero in favor of Rubro-Negro.

In preparation for the match against Flamengo this weekend , Juventude received some good news. Midfielder Lucas Fernandes, sidelined since the end of July due to injury, has returned to training and is once again available to coach Thiago Carpini.

Signed in early July, Lucas Fernandes played only once for Juventude : on the 27th of that month, in a 3-0 loss to Bahia in the Brasileirão. After that match, the midfielder felt muscle discomfort and was rested for the following game, against Santos. Tests revealed a grade 1 thigh injury, ruling him out of the matches against Corinthians, Vitória, Vasco, Botafogo, and Ceará.
Throughout the season, Thiago Carpini alternated his midfield formation, using more experienced players like Nenê to reinforce the midfield in matches against Vasco and Botafogo. Lucas Fernandes' return opens up the possibility of a new tactical variation. Even if he doesn't start, the former São Paulo player could be an important player in adding dynamism to the team during the match.
While Mengão leads Série A with 47 points from 21 matches (14 wins, five draws and two losses), Cruzeiro (44 points) and Palmeiras (43) follow. Juventude is in 18th place with 21 points and is looking for a comeback to leave the relegation zone. Flamengo trains on Friday (11) and Saturday (12), at 9:30 am, at Ninho do Urubu, and leaves for Caxias do Sul on Saturday afternoon.
The squad has activities scheduled for Friday (11) and Saturday (12), at 9:30 am , at Ninho do Urubu. Right after Saturday's training, the delegation will board at 2:30 pm (Brasília time) for Caxias do Sul, where they will face Juventude at the Alfredo Jaconi stadium.
