SKILLS FOR TITE

It is worth remembering that Tite has two confirmed absences for the clash. This is because Igor Jesus and Everton Cebolinha are in the Medical Department and have no plans to return yet. The midfielder suffered a sprain in his left ankle and the striker suffered a hip injury.

In addition, David Luiz left the last game, against Fluminense, with knee pain. The defender is undergoing treatment on site, but he is still doubtful for the match against Juventude.

FOCUS FOR THE NEXT CONFRONTATION

Thus, after beating Fluminense 1-0, the Mais Queridose consolidated at the top of the leaderboard, with 24 points, followed by Palmeiras with 23 and Bahia 20. Therefore, the team needs to win to be able to move away from their rivals and remain at the top of the Brasileirão for another round.

< Mais Querido takes the field this Wednesday night (26th), at 8pm, in a match against Juventude, at Alfredo Jaconi. Heavy rain is forecast during the game, which could harm the condition of the pitch.

In a press conference at Ninho do Urubu, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi spoke about his desire to be called up to the Argentina national team , the current world champion. Despite his dream, the goalkeeper made it clear that his priority remains Flamengo.

Rossi on his dream of joining the Argentine national team: "My job is for Flamengo"

"Obviously, I've always wanted to be called up. I think Brazilian football is very strong, not only in South America, but worldwide as well. In the last call-up, there were players from here. But I'm not thinking about that right now . I think that if I do my job well, that call-up could come," Rossi stated.

TOTAL FOCUS ON FLAMENGO

The Argentine stressed that he keeps his feet on the ground and that his main goal is to continue showing consistency for the Rubro-Negro , who have the best defense in the Brasileirão, conceding only 10 goals in 22 games. At Maracanã, the Mais Querido conceded only three goals.

"I'm in no rush, because my job is for Flamengo , day to day, game to game. My biggest focus is to maintain this streak so that the call-up can come. Of course I have that desire, but I don't treat it as a requirement . I'm Flamengo's goalkeeper, I'm responsible for Flamengo. If the call-up comes, I'll welcome it," he added.

INCOME AND TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Rossi has already won four titles. Last season, he was a key player in the undefeated Carioca Championship and also played in the Copa do Brasil victory. In 2025, he maintained his starting spot in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Estadual . In total, he has represented Flamengo in 125 official matches, establishing himself as a pillar of the team.
