O Flamengocontinues to look for reinforcements for the next season, with the sector offensive being one of the biggest priorities for the club. Recent attention has fallen on striker Lassina Traoré, currently at Shakhtar Donetsk, after rumors that he could be Gabigol's replacement. However, the player's evaluation is being thorough, especially in relation to his injury history.
Lassina Traoré , which is already being watched by other European clubs, is among Flamengo's options to reinforce the offensive sector. Coach Filipe Luís indicated the need for a striker with characteristics that can play alongside players like Pedro, maintaining the team's competitiveness. Thus, Traoré entered the conversations, being evaluated by José Boto, who is also attentive to the market scenario.
TRAORE INJURIES IN THE CAREER
Despite being seen as a good technical option, a growing concern in Flamengoinvolves the player's injury history. Traoré suffered a serious knee injury in the 2021/22 season, leaving him out of competition for almost 300 days. Although he recovered and returned to the field, the striker was injured again in 2023, this time with a ruptured hamstring, which left him out of action for six months. This history of physical problems has generated concern within the club.
HOW CAN THIS HURST LASSINA AT FLAMENGO
After the long recovery period due to the tendon rupture, Lassina Traoré returned to the pitch at the beginning of 2024 and, since then, has not suffered any new injuries. Although his physical condition has been more stable recently,the concern about the possibility of new injuries persists, especially at a club like Flamengo, which has demanded a lot from its athletes.
Revealed by Ajax, from the Netherlands, Lassina Traoré stood out for his fast and timely football, characteristics that made him attractive to Shakhtar Donetsk, the club that signed the striker in 2021. At 23 years old, Traoré has already played 18 games this season, scoring three goals and contributing two assists. In addition to his career at club level, the striker is also a constant presence in the Burkina Faso national team, where he is seen as one of the main names.
