On Wednesday (2), Flamengo issued a statement informing that Erick Pulgar will undergo foot surgery after breaking the fifth metatarsal. Thus, before undergoing the procedure, the midfielder made a request to Mais Querido.


According to information from journalist Marcos Coelho, Pulgar asked for the surgery to be performed in Chile. The location is the player's choice, as he opted to be treated and monitored by professionals who have been with him since the beginning of his career.


RECOVERY TIME


After the surgery, Erick Pulgar will begin his recovery. The estimated time for the midfielder to return to the field is between September and October. Until then, the player will be out of Flamengo's next matches of the season.

INJURY AFTER STRONG TACKLE ON HARRY KANE


Erick Pulgar was injured in the first half of the match between Flamengo and Bayern Munich. In the 42nd minute, the midfielder committed a foul on opposing striker Harry Kane and received a yellow card.

Soon after, he went to the bench complaining of pain in his foot and ended up leaving the game, giving way to Allan. After the substitution, Erick Pulgar was taken by ambulance to the hospital, where he underwent medical examinations that confirmed a fracture.

Flamengo reported that Guillermo Varela, right-back for the Uruguayan national team, was released after Uruguay qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup . The player presented with pubalgia and will be re-evaluated by the Flamengo medical department.


According to the official statement, Dr. Fernando Sassaki, the club's doctor, maintained constant contact with the Uruguayan Football Association's medical team to monitor the athlete's situation.


ARRASCAETA WAS SPARED


In addition to Varela, midfielder Giorgian De Arrascaeta also returns to the squad. Despite not presenting any medical problems, the player was rested for Uruguay's second match on this FIFA World Cup . The club expressed its gratitude for the cooperation between the medical departments of both the Celeste and Rubro-Negro teams.

The break in national championships between September 1st and 10th is due to the FIFA Date , intended for the Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. There was an expectation that the elimination in the Copa do Brasil against Atlético-MG would create a longer interval between commitments, but the changes promoted by the CBF reduced the space in Mengão's schedule.


NEXT APPOINTMENT

Flamengo returns to the field next Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), against Juventude, at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The club seeks to end a long fast in Caxias do Sul , since the last victory there occurred on October 1, 1997, when they won 1-0 after an own goal by Rodrigo Costa.

Flamengo continues its preparation to face Juventude , next Sunday (14), for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. For the match, coach Filipe Luís will not have Léo Ortiz, suspended, and should bet on Danilo as a starter in the red-black defense .


Danilo's last start was the 1-0 victory over Fluminense on July 20th, in the 15th round. At the time, the defender suffered a thigh muscle injury and was sidelined for about a month. Now fully recovered, he is expected to return to the starting lineup.


WHY IS LEO ORTIZ OUT?


In the 1-1 draw with Grêmio on August 31, Léo Ortiz received his third yellow card of the season in a highly contested play by Grêmio. As a result, he will serve an automatic suspension and will not travel to Caxias do Sul.

HOW WAS DANILO'S INJURY?


A starter in the derby against Fluminense, Danilo felt pain in his right thigh and left the field in the 37th minute of the second half. Since then, he has undergone treatment with the Medical Department and has returned to the field , once again available for Filipe Luís.

DANILO'S NUMBERS FOR FLAMENGO

Signed in January after terminating his contract with Juventus (ITA) , Danilo has played 18 games, scored three goals, and provided one assist for Flamengo . Although he is not a regular starter, he has been alternating between Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira in defense, despite suffering from physical problems.

FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME

Rubro-Negro returns to the field next Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), against Juventude, at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. Flamengo seeks to end a long run without victories at Jaconero's home . The last time they won there was on October 1, 1997, when the score ended 1-0 for Mais Querido, due to an own goal by Rodrigo Costa.
