Bruno Henrique left the last game, against Palmeiras, feeling pain. After a somewhat disappointing game for Mengão, coach Jorge Sampaoli would not want to reach the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil with another injured player. Flamengo faced Palmeiras with seven players missing.


Flamengo left Allianz Parque, last Saturday (08), with a 1-1 draw against Palmeiras, for the Brazilian Championship. In addition to the result not being what was expected, Mengo has one more concern for the calendar sequence: Bruno Henrique. The winger reported feeling pain after the game and should be reassessed soon, said journalist Raisa Simplicio. There are no changes in the physical condition of the star so far. The expectation is that it will be a false alarm and not a serious injury'.


The player is in this situation due to an interaction with Luan from Palmeiras. The bid in question was in the 46th minute of the second half. The number 27 was kicked by the opposing defender and had to be attended to due to pain in his left knee. However, the winger returned to the match and played until the final whistle.


Bruno Henrique, then, must be reassessed in the next training session, as well as other players, so that the club's Medical Department defines who is fit to face Athlético-PR, on Wednesday (12). It is worth remembering that BH scored the winning goal in the first leg against Athlético-PR. In addition, Gabigol, Léo Pereira, Matheuzinho and some athletes from the Red-Black team are awaiting a position from the DM to return to Jorge Sampaoli's related list.

In a press conference after the game, Sampaoli even revealed that I wanted players like Gabigol, Léo Pereira and Allan to be ready for the Copa do Brasil game against the team from Paraná. The Argentine even chose to field Arrascaeta and Everton Ribeiro only in the second half of the game, wanting to spare them as much as possible.

Newly arrived at Flamengo, midfielder Jorge Carrascal was called up by the Colombian national team for the last two rounds of the South American World Cup Qualifiers. The list was released this Friday (29) by the Colombian Football Federation and coach Néstor Lorenzo.


Besides Carrascal, only one other Brazilian soccer player was called up: Bahia's Santiago Arias. In total, the 26 players called up are spread across 12 different countries , reinforcing the Colombian national team's international reach.


COLOMBIA DECIDES PLACE IN THE WORLD CUP


The Colombian national team will play its final two qualifiers in September. On the 4th, it faces Bolivia in Barranquilla. Next, it travels to face Venezuela at the Monumental Stadium in Maturín.

Currently in 6th place with 22 points, Colombia holds the final spot for direct qualification to the World Cup . The outlook is balanced: a string of victories could vault them into the top spots, but slip-ups could prove costly , as Venezuela (18 points) and Bolivia (17 points) still dream of qualifying.


TABLE SITUATION MAINTAINS PRESSURE

Unlike Brazil, which has already secured its spot and is using the final matches as a time for coach Carlo Ancelotti's observations, Colombia is playing for its future participation in the World Cup. If it doesn't win, it could finish in 7th place , a position that only qualifies for the intercontinental playoff organized by FIFA .

Tottenham, Crystal Palace, and Manchester City are monitoring the situation of Lucas Paquetá, a West Ham standout and highly valued player in English football. The move comes shortly after the player was acquitted of misconduct charges involving sports betting.


The London club, however, has no intention of facilitating the midfielder's departure and has set a price of £60 to £70 million to release him . This figure is considered out of reach for most clubs at the moment, which could hinder any concrete approach.


OFFER TO RUBRO-NEGRO WAS MADE


At the start of the current season, Paquetá was offered a transfer to Flamengo through his representatives. At the time, West Ham was asking for around £30 million, but negotiations stalled due to the ongoing legal process . Today, the situation is different, as the player has established himself as one of the key players in the English squad.

A possible return to Rio de Janeiro football could have been considered in a different context, but the club has already strengthened its squad with Samuel Lino, Samu, and Emerson Royal, which reduces the immediate need to invest in another midfielder . Even so, it's not ruled out that there may be room for a rapprochement at some point in the future.


PAQUETÁ MAINTAINS IDENTIFICATION WITH FLA

Despite the obstacles, the desire of both parties remains alive. Paquetá has expressed his affection and desire to wear the red-and-black jersey again on other occasions , while the club also dreams of having the athlete back. For now, it's a distant possibility, but not ruled out.
