This Thursday (15), Flamengo takes to the field to face LDU , from Ecuador, in the fifth round of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores da América. The match, which takes place at Maracanã, is considered crucial for the club's ambitions in the competition. For the duel, coach Filipe Luís has four confirmed absences and two doubts in the starting lineup.
Among the players missing are Viña , who is still undergoing physical reconditioning, as well as Allan and Erick Pulgar , both with muscle injuries in their right thigh. Gonzalo Plata is also out as he is still feeling pain due to bone edema in his right knee. The absence of these players will require changes to the team.
With these absences, Filipe Luís is still analyzing who will replace Pulgar in the midfield. The options are Léo Ortiz or Evertton Araújo , who are competing for the spot. Another uncertainty is on the left wing of the attack: Bruno Henrique and Everton Cebolinha are still fighting for a spot among the starters. The definition of the 11 players who will start the match will take place in training this Wednesday (14), at Ninho do Urubu.
The decisive activity was scheduled for 3:30 pm (Brasília time) and will serve to adjust Mengão's final strategy for the game. The coach should test variations during training to better evaluate the athletes' performance on the field.
In the Group C table, Flamengo appears outside the classification zone. With five points, it occupies third place. LDU is just ahead, with eight points, while Central Córdoba is currently leading with nine , after beating Deportivo Táchira 2-1 this Tuesday (13). The situation forces the Brazilian team to win the direct confrontation at Maracanã.
The expectation is that a packed Maracanã will cheer the Rio team on in search of victory. The duel is scheduled to start at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), with broadcast on ESPN, Disney+ and live coverage on digital platforms.
Mengão recently reformulated the program for fans and achieved a significant increase compared to the pre-change period.

Flamengo is about to reach the milestone of 100,000 active members in its "Nação" program , which currently has over 95,000 members . This number represents an increase of about 30% since January, when the club had approximately 70,000 subscribers, according to journalist Venê Casagrande.
The increase in membership was driven by the launch of the new program in April, which highlighted the “ Nação Sem Fronteiras ” plan, aimed at fans from outside Rio de Janeiro or who do not regularly attend Maracanã.
With a symbolic value of R$19.81 per month, in honor of the 1981 world title , the plan offers advantages such as priority in purchasing tickets for games outside Rio, the right to purchase tickets for one game per year at Maracanã (except semifinals and finals) and discounts with commercial partners.
Traditional plans have been revamped in the "Maraca Nation" category, divided into three tiers with different prices and benefits . The focus is to offer priority and deeper discounts on ticket purchases for stadium games.
To democratize access, Flamengo has also reserved 10% of its ticket supply for members in categories 2 and 3 , ensuring they don't miss out on purchasing tickets. Within these plans, attendance will be one of the priority criteria.

With no round of the Brasileirão during the FIFA Date , the Sportv Closing program featured Everton Ribeiro this Sunday (8). The midfielder, champion of the Copa do Nordeste for Bahia the day before , gave a live interview via video conference directly from Salvador.
During the conversation, the player discussed his partnership with Rogério Ceni, with whom he had previously worked at Flamengo , and highlighted the coach's evolution. For Everton Ribeiro, Ceni presents a more updated style and is closer to the group compared to his time in charge of the Rubro-Negro.
" I believe Rogério (Ceni) has been updating himself, and he's also been changing his approach to the group. I see a huge difference from what he was like with Flamengo ," said the Bahia midfielder.
According to Everton Ribeiro, Rogério Ceni's drive to win remains a hallmark, but the coach has learned to balance pressure and squad management. " Today, he can identify when a player isn't doing well and has the sensitivity to talk to them and offer a word of encouragement. That makes a difference in the atmosphere ," the midfielder stated.
He also highlighted that Ceni has given space to the young players from the academy, as was the case in the final against Confiança . For Ribeiro, this approach contributes to the development of the athletes and strengthens the squad.
At the end of 2023, Everton Ribeiro chose to end his time at Flamengo , refusing the one-year renewal offered by the Rio de Janeiro club . At Bahia, he signed a two-year contract, with the possibility of a one-year extension.

Flamengo has not played since a 1-1 draw against Grêmio on August 31st, in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão . The calendar, which had been intense since before the Club World Cup , was softened by the FIFA World Cup break, between September 1st and 10th.
This break gave the squad a breather, having faced a marathon of recent commitments. The break was crucial for physical recovery and tactical adjustments, as well as allowing injured players to regain better conditions before the September season.
Even with the Copa do Brasil elimination to Atlético-MG, which initially seemed to open up more space in the calendar, the CBF made adjustments that kept the schedule tight . The coaching staff is taking advantage of the FIFA International Closure period to strengthen preparations for the decisive matches in the Copa Libertadores da América, as well as the fight for top spot in the Brasileirão.
