Head coach Leonardo Jardim has kept faith with Rossi, noting one key save and his play out from the back, going long when required. Despite a positive internal view of Andrew, there are no doubts over Rossi’s starting spot.

Rossi returned to the stadium where he shone in last year’s Libertadores and helped secure a 0-0 that leaves Flamengo one simple win from another final. They visit Bahia on Sunday in the Brasileiro, then host Estudiantes at the Maracanã next Thursday.
