Alexander Medvedev is the general director of Zenit (RUS). In an interview he clarified the situation of Wendel, speculated from Flamengo. In recent days, much has been said about the possible signing of the midfielder for Mengão. Wendel would already be looking for housing in Rio de Janeiro and even sent messages to the red-black on social networks. Medvedev, however, made a point of pointing out the responsibilities he has with the team.
Flamengo is very interested in signing Wendel and that has been clear since this Wednesday (19). The player, on the other hand, is also very keen to play with the Sacred Mantle, since he has publicly said that he wants to leave Russia and, consequently, his current team before the end of the year. In the early hours of this Friday (21) the midfielder's businessmen went to St. Petersburg, where Zenit is headquartered, to reach an agreement for the athlete's release. However, it seems that Zenit does not have the same plans that many thought.
In an interview with Russia's 'Sport Express' newspaper, club director Alexander Medvedev made it clear: "He is a Zenit football player and must fulfill his duties. Players perform their duties with pleasure. We hope that he also performs them." The Brazilian press was distributing the information that Wendel's trip would be exclusively to organize his departure from the club. The midfielder's contract runs until 2025 and, for Medvedev, this means that he must be available to the team and, therefore, left Brazil to return to the Russian capital.
The midfielder was in Brazil due to social problems, issues that the director did not fail to comment on: “He (Wendel) lost his aunt, who was like a mother to him. He lost his grandfather when he already had a plane ticket bought. It is necessary to evaluate this humanly." Even though I understand the delicate situation, apparently the midfielder's decision to look at houses in Barra da Tijuca - Rio de Janeiro - was a bit hasty.

Flamengo released this Sunday morning (31) the list of players related to the duel against Grêmio , valid for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The main absence is midfielder Jorginho , who had been in doubt throughout the week after feeling muscle discomfort.
Despite participating in a separate training session on Saturday, the player felt pain again during Sunday morning's training session and was rested by the coaching staff. See the list of players involved in the Brazilian Championship match.
In addition to Jorginho, Flamengo will also be without Alex Sandro, who is recovering from an injury . At left back, Filipe Luís will have Ayrton Lucas and Matías Viña, both available for the match. Juninho, however, remains out of the club's plans and was not included in the list. The board is working to determine new destinations for the players.
The undisputed leader of the competition, Rubro-Negro, has 46 points from 20 games. Cruzeiro is right behind with 44, but has already played two games. Thus, Palmeiras, with 42 points and a game in hand, emerges as the main contender in the battle for the top spot . Immediately after the match at Maracanã, the São Paulo team faces Corinthians at Neo Química Arena, in a classic that could shake up the top of the table.
Flamengo and Grêmio face each other this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. While Mais Querido fights to extend its lead at the top , the team from Rio Grande do Sul, in 14th place, seeks to move away from the relegation zone.

Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (31) to face Grêmio, in a match valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball rolls at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with broadcast by Rede Globo , on open TV, and Premiere, on pay-per-view.
In midfield, Jorginho 's condition is a concern. The defensive midfielder is experiencing muscle discomfort and did not participate in training with the group during the week . He continues to perform specific activities at Ninho do Urubu and will be re-evaluated this Saturday, in the final training session led by Filipe Luís before the match.
Since his Club World Cup debut, Jorginho has established himself as a key player in the red-and-black squad. If he isn't cleared by the medical department, Allan and Evertton Araújo are potential options, while De La Cruz is considered an outsider. Pulgar remains out of the plans due to surgery on his right foot.
With the confirmed absences and the doubt over Jorginho, coach Filipe Luís should send the following team to the field at Flamengo : Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz (Danilo), Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Allan (Jorginho), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino and Pedro.
Rubro-Negro heads into the 22nd round as the sole leader of the Brasileirão, with 46 points, two ahead of second-place Cruzeiro, who still have a game in hand . After the match against Grêmio, the competition will be suspended for 13 days due to the FIFA International Day.
