With a cruciate ligament injury in his knee confirmed, Pedro will have to undergo surgery and will be sidelined for at least nine months. Since returning to Rio de Janeiro last week, after being injured during the national team's training in Curitiba, the player already had a date set to undergo the surgical procedure.
According to journalist Luiza Sá, Pedro should have the surgery between Friday and Saturday, with Flamengo just waiting for confirmation of the date, to officially announce it. Also according to Luiza, the procedure will be in the same hospital where Viña and Cebolinha had the operation, both will no longer play in 2024.
In addition to the serious injury suffered this year, in 2018, when Pedro was still playing for Fluminense, he was diagnosed with a strain in his ligaments in his right knee, and when the injury was confirmed there, he had to undergo surgery. Coincidentally, just like in 2024, he was cut from Brazil's squad list.
Pedro underwent physiotherapy and returned to working with the ball, at Fluminense's CT, in March 2019, almost nine months after his surgery .
The second surgery was due to a meniscus injury. And P9 had to undergo arthroscopic surgery, which left him sidelined for 3 months. In the meantime, the center forward was left out of the Libertadores final against Palmeiras, in Montevideo.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.
