The Flamengo will have an important absence in the clash against Amazonas for the Copa do Brasil. Bruno Henrique, the team's number 27, will not be involved in the match and, consequently, will not travel with the delegation to Manaus. The decision was taken due to the recovery from a sprain in his left ankle that the attacker suffered recently.
Bruno Henrique, one of the main players in the red and black squad, has been a key player in Flamengo's achievements in the last years. His absence will be felt both for his technical quality and for the experience he brings to the team in decisive moments. The striker is in the final stages of recovery, but the technical committee chose not to risk a possible worsening of the injury.
FLAMENGO HAS EXPRESSIVE LOW
Without Bruno Henrique, the coach of Flamengo will have to look for alternatives to assemble the team that will face Amazonas. The expectation is that other players in the squad will be tested to fill the gap left by the attacker. With a tight schedule and decisive matches ahead, it is crucial that the team is able to adapt quickly to the absences of its main athletes.
Bruno Henrique's recovery is closely monitored by Flamengo's medical team. The objective is to ensure that the player returns to the pitch in full shape, avoiding relapses that could compromise his performance for the remainder of the season. Although the absence of number 27 is a significant loss, Flamengo has a robust and qualified squad to face the challenges that lie ahead.
