Flamengo spruce up the Maracanã ahead of date with Fluminense | OneFootball

Flamengo will have a new mosaic adorning the empty stands for Sunday’s derby Fla–Flu derby at the Maracanã.

The two sides meet in the Campeonato Carioca, with the Rubro-Negro looking to continue their 100% start to the campaign following wins over Nova Iguaçu and Macaé.

An image of the mosaic was posted on the club’s official Twitter account on Saturday, with the words “We are all but a few” appearing on it.

The post read: “Maracanã is beautiful! Tomorrow is #FLAxFLU, Nation! Let’s go together!”

Flamengo are likely to continue fielding a team mostly comprised of youth players, with U-20 manager Mauricio Souza calling the shots from the dugout.

Fluminense, on the other hand, are set to integrate some first-team players such as Marcos Felipe, Igor Julião and Fernando Pacheco as they look to bounce back from defeats to Portuguesa RJ and Resende.
