Filipe Luís decides Flamengo starlet’s future before Barça clash | OneFootball

Wallace Yan will not be available for Flamengo against Barcelona (ESP)

Flamengo will take the field this Saturday (23), against Barcelona (ESP), for the decision of the Under-20 Club World Cup. Thus, Filipe Luís has decided that Wallace Yan will not play the match against the Spanish team, remaining available for the professional squad.

— I spoke with João, what's happening with João makes me a bit sad. When Danilo was injured, he was the immediate substitute. I need him. I think about giving him minutes to develop, but unfortunately, he hasn't had many either here or in the under-20. The return of Danilo allowed me to send him down and play this final game of the Under-20 World Cup -, he said, before concluding:

— This game is important for the club, and it's important to talk about it. Matheus also needs to play. Just staying here training, not entering, makes him sad, downcast, and he ends up not developing. I hope they can have a great game. Wallace (Yan), no. He will stay here with me -, he said.

Can Flamengo become two-time World Champions?

It is worth remembering that Flamengo is the current champion of the Under-20 Club World Cup. This is because the Most Beloved defeated Olympiacos (GRE) 2-1 in the 2023 season and won the title at Maracanã. Thus, the Rubro-Negro can become two-time champions this Saturday (23), in front of the fans.

And the professional squad of Flamengo?

The main team of Flamengo, however, will take the field on Wednesday (20), at Beira Rio, against Internacional, for the return leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores of America. The match is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with broadcast by Rede Globo, on open channel, ESPN, on cable TV, and Disney+, on streaming.
