Flamengo vs Fluminense: Will Wallace Yan Play?
Flamengo coach Filipe Luís has a big worry ahead of the Flamengo vs Fluminense clash. A key player is on the verge of suspension and could miss the next game if he gets a yellow card in this match. We're talking about Wallace Yan, the young talent making waves in the professional ranks.
Wallace Yan is the only Flamengo player walking a disciplinary tightrope in this game. Erick Pulgar is also on a yellow card, but he's injured and won't feature in the clásico.
Wallace Yan is becoming increasingly important, consistently making an impact off the bench. He even scored in Mengão's win against Chelsea, quickly becoming a fan favorite. Fans are clamoring for him to start, especially with Bruno Henrique suspended for the clásico.
If Wallace Yan gets a yellow card, he'll miss the game against Red Bull Bragantino next Wednesday. The pressure is on!
Fluminense's Suspension Worries
While Flamengo is concerned about Wallace Yan, Renato Gaúcho has an even bigger headache. He has three players on yellow cards who need to be extra careful in the clásico.
Fluminense has Bernal, Freytes, and Samuel Xavier all at risk. Filipe Luís's team might try to exploit this by targeting these players, forcing them to avoid strong tackles to avoid a yellow card.
Analyst Wants Yan to Start
Despite the suspension risk, many believe Wallace Yan deserves to start. Tactical analyst Raphael Rabello from Falando de Tática says he'll be disappointed if the young star doesn't start the game.
Will Filipe Luís risk starting Wallace Yan, or will he bring him on later to avoid a potential suspension? It's a tough decision that could impact the outcome of the match.
