REFEREE WHO WILL REFER FLAMENGO VS GRÊMIO GOES THROUGH TRAINING FOR THE SEMIFINALS OF THE BRAZILIAN CUP

After spending most of the week out of field activities with his teammates, Jorginho returned to training this Saturday (30) and was included in the list of players involved in the game against Grêmio. The midfielder participated in the last activity before the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship and became an option for coach Filipe Luís. The player himself confirmed the call-up on his social networks, encouraging the Mais Querido fans.

Jorginho missed training from Wednesday to Friday due to muscle discomfort felt shortly after the 8-0 thrashing of Vitória, last Monday (25). Despite the precaution, the quick physical recovery pleased the coaching staff.

If the defensive midfielder doesn't start, Allan and Everton Araújo will compete for the position alongside Saúl. In this scenario, Arrascaeta will remain as the main playmaker in the central attack. De La Cruz could also appear in the starting eleven.

LEFT BACK IS DISPUTED

Another open position is the left-back position. Alex Sandro, injured, is out of the match and will not play again this round. The spot will be between Ayrton Lucas and Viña. The Uruguayan was considered earlier in the week as an immediate option after the starter's departure, but the decision will only be made shortly before the match.

FLAMENGO FACES GRÊMIO

After the biggest victory in the history of the points system, beating Vitória 8-0, Flamengo returns to Maracanã this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), to face Grêmio in the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship.

Flamengo will see a monthly reduction of approximately R$1 million in its payroll costs . This reduction was achieved following the recent departures of Matheus Gonçalves, Victor Hugo, and Lorran , three young players who had lost their place in the main squad.

According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the measure contributes to the financial stability of the club , which seeks balance amid recent high investments.

The decision is part of a larger board strategy aimed at restructuring the payroll, which had been steadily growing. The expectation is that the savings will not only preserve the budget but also create room for potential signings in strategic positions, without compromising the sporting quality.

MICHAEL HAS A HIGH SALARY

One of the points under review at the club involves Michael's situation . The striker, who recently returned to Flamengo , has a monthly fee similar to that of the three youngsters combined. Although an official decision has not yet been made, the possibility of negotiation has not been ruled out.
