The Flamengo faces a complicated situation for the match against Bolívar in the Copa Libertadores, with six confirmed absences. Wesley, the most recent to join the list, was cut due to physical problems. The situation is worsened by the absence of key players such as Everton Cebolinha and Viña, both out of action for the remainder of the 2024 season. Pedro, Arrascaeta and Gabigol, all with thigh muscle injuries, are only expected to return to the field from September.
Wesley's injury occurred after training, when the player felt pain in his right thigh. Flamengo's medical department chose to spare him to avoid a worsening of the situation, considering the history of muscle injuries that the team has been facing. The absence of Wesley, who had been an important player on the right flank, represents yet another challenge for the coach, who will have to look for alternatives within the squad to form the defense.
THE CLUB HAS A HUGE LOSSES BEFORE THE CONFRONTATION
Everton Cebolinha and Viña were already confirmed as casualties until the end of the year, both suffering lserious injuries that require long recovery periods. Everton Cebolinha, with a ruptured knee ligament, underwent surgery and has an estimated recovery period of nine months, which takes him out of competitions in 2024. Viña suffered a fractured ankle during training and will not return to action. this season.
Forwards Pedro, Arrascaeta and Gabigol, the team's offensive pillars, suffered similar injuries, with muscle strains in their thighs. These injuries, although not as serious as those to Everton Cebolinha and Viña, require time to recover, and the players should only be able to return to the pitch in September. The simultaneous absence of these three players directly affects Flamengo's attacking power, which has proven to be dependent on their performances.
These injuries place Flamengo in a delicate situation, especially in a decisive phase of the Libertadores. The team will have to rely on the strength of the squad and the coach's ability to restructure the team to maintain competitiveness. The challenge of facing Bolívar without six important players will require not only an adjusted tactical strategy, but also a collective effort from the available athletes.

Flamengo announced this Monday (18) Betano as its new master sponsor . The contract, valid for three years, is the largest ever signed by a Brazilian club and places the Rubro-Negro among the ten highest paid in the world . The agreement provides for around R$268 million per season for the brand's exposure on the uniform.
The amount is more than double the previous contract with Pixbet, which generated R$115 million annually. With this, Flamengo further widens the gap with its rivals in the national scenario : the second-largest master sponsorship in Brazil, Corinthians' with Esporte da Sorte, is worth R$103 million, or R$165 million less than Flamengo's.
The red-black contract exceeds, for example, that of Ajax (HOL) with Ziggo, which pays only €8 million (around R$51 million).
The deal with Betano also includes performance targets that could boost the club's profits . The deal reinforces Flamengo's status as a leading brand in South American football and demonstrates the commercial growth potential of clubs in the region.
Atalanta's Mengão product is in their sights to reinforce their attacking command and the Cottagers already have a replacement in place in case of his departure.

Rodrigo Muniz's goalscoring form in England is starting to stir up activity in the European market . The former Flamengo player has become Atalanta's target, and a potential transfer has Fulham looking for replacements. Their main target is Rasmus Hojlund, currently on the decline at Manchester United .
According to The Independent, the Dane lost his place after the arrival of coach Rúben Amorim and saw competition increase with the signing of Benjamin Sesko , bought for around €80 million. Signed from Atalanta for £72 million, Hojlund didn't perform as expected: he scored just 14 goals in 62 Premier League games. United are now reportedly willing to sell him for £40 million.
Atalanta could offer a similar amount for Muniz. The Flamengo -born striker has had two consistent seasons at Fulham, scoring 17 Premier League goals . Last Saturday (16), he was decisive when he scored in stoppage time against Brighton, securing a draw in the season opener.
If the sale goes through, Fulham will have the cash to invest heavily in a new number 9 , and Hojlund emerges as the main option. For United, the deal would represent a chance to reduce the financial losses associated with the player.
The next few days of the transfer window promise to be decisive for Fulham, Atalanta, Manchester United, and for Rodrigo Muniz, who could begin a new chapter in his career in Serie A. While negotiations are still pending, the youngster is preparing for the second round of the Premier League, when the Cottagers face Manchester United.
