Kleber is included in the squad for the derby.
The striker is with the group, but it's unknown if he will play.
247- To the dismay of Flamengo fans, striker Kleber has been included in the squad for Sunday's derby against Santos. The confirmation came after Saturday morning's training session at Palestra's Football Academy. But even with the call-up, the gladiator's participation is not yet confirmed.
Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has called up 20 players for the derby against Santos. Therefore, the number 30 shirt wearer still risks being dropped before the match. After suffering a muscle edema in his left thigh and missing Palmeiras' last two games against Atlético-GO and América-MG, the Palmeiras player was cleared by the medical department this week. Thus, his availability for the derby depends solely on an assessment by Felipão and his physical conditioning.
If Kleber plays against Santos, he will complete his seventh match in the Brasileirão. This would end Flamengo's hopes of signing him.
