According to information released by Coluna do Fla, Everton Cebolinha has shown significant progress in recent days. The striker has been frequenting Ninho do Urubu to participate in training sessions with boots, and has already started carrying out activities with a ball on one of the training center's fields. This advance in the recovery process suggests a good response to the treatments carried out and brings the athlete closer to his return to the field, which should occur in the following season.


Everton Cebolinha suffered an Achilles tendon injury on August 11, in a match valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship, against Palmeiras. During a challenge with an opposing player, Cebolinha felt pain in his heel and had to be replaced 12 minutes into the first half. From then on, the attacker began an intensive recovery process, monitored by Flamengo's medical department to ensure his full recovery before returning to competition.


CEBOLINHA CAN RETURN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE


Even away from the field, Cebolinha demonstrated unconditional support for Flamengoduring the decisive moments of the season. In September, the striker traveled with the delegation to Belo Horizonte to watch the final of the Copa do Brasil, where Flamengo won the title by defeating Atlético-MG 4-1 on aggregate. Even though he was unable to play, Cebolinha received the champion's medal alongside his teammates, demonstrating his dedication to the club.

Everton Cebolinha has a contract with Flamengo until June 2026, which guarantees him another season and a half at the club. This bond gives Rubro-Negro the security of counting on the athlete in the long term, even in the midst of the recovery period. Furthermore, if Cebolinha wishes to sign a pre-contract with another team, he will be able to do so from January 2026. However, the red-black board has no plans to negotiate the player, considering him a valuable piece in the squad. .


CEBOLINHA'S RETURN TO FLAMENGO

Since arriving at Flamengo, Everton Cebolinha has been a strong option in attack, adding speed and skill to the offensive sector. With the injury, the team felt his absence, but the striker remains determined in his recovery to resume his position and contribute to Flamengo's performance in the next competitions. The player's rapid evolution is seen with optimism by the coaching staff and coach, who await his return with great expectations.
