For the derby, coach Filipe Luís will likely have Jorginho back, who has recovered from a muscle injury in his right thigh. The Flamengo manager is also waiting for the players who were called up for international duty to return to see if they will be fit to play. 

After experiencing muscle pain during training last Tuesday (18), striker Pedro underwent an imaging exam this morning and a muscle injury in his left thigh was confirmed. He has already started treatment with the club's Medical Department. The athlete also underwent a control x-ray on his right forearm, which showed signs of consolidation of the ulna fracture.
