Just before half-time of Flamengo over Madureira, in the last round of the Guanabara Cup, Fabrício Bruno fell on the field and asked for a replacement. The player still had the opportunity to be examined and ended up leaving the match. After the duel, the Mengão defender underwent tests that revealed a fractured nose.
The play occurred around the 45th minute of the initial stage. In an aerial dispute, Fabrício Bruno got the worst of it after being hit in the face and ended up on the ground. Flamengo's doctors asked for him to be replaced, but the referee's whistle ending the first half allowed him to be better examined. Upon returning to the pitch, Léo Pereira took his place and scored a great free kick.
From the bench, Fabrício Bruno watched Flamengo's categorical victory against Madureira. At the end of the match, he said he felt a little pain, but that he was fine and that it was not a serious problem. He enjoyed the party on the field with his teammates and, after leaving Maracanã, he underwent new tests. Thus, a fractured nose was found.
Fabrício Bruno should be available for the next game
Despite it being a fracture, Fabrício Bruno is in good health. chances of being available for the first leg of the Carioca Championship semi-final, next weekend. This is because cases of nose injuries have a recovery that allows athletes to continue performing.
Recently, Uruguayan Varela had a similar problem after a fight with Gerson and entered the field around 48 hours later. The usual procedure is to use a carbon fiber mask, which provides good protection. It, however, must be used for a longer period, until the bones have fully recovered.
In an interview with GE to better elucidate the Varela case, the otorhinolaryngologist and cervicofacial surgeon, Carla Falsete, revealed that a period of one week is ideal for the player to return to the field. In the meantime, there is considerable swelling, which makes breathing difficult, and bone remodeling occurs. After this period, the swelling decreases and so does the risk of new bleeding.
This should be the case for Fabrício Bruno, who will have at least a week without games. It is worth remembering, however, that Flamengo is about to announce the signing of Léo Ortiz. Everything is fine with Bragantino and the 28-year-old athlete is expected in Rio de Janeiro next Tuesday (5).
Strikers have not had opportunities with Filipe Luís and have even been left out of the list of players involved in Mengão's games.

For now, forwards Juninho and Michael remain at Flamengo . Both were on the list of players available for transfer, but the board didn't like the offers they received. Therefore, at least until a new decision is made, they remain on the roster and at the disposal of Filipe Luís's coaching staff .
The reality, however, is complicated. Both are behind several competitors in the attacking sector and have long contracts, expiring on December 31, 2028. In Michael 's case, the situation is even more pressing: in addition to the competition, the striker has a high salary, which makes any transfer difficult, especially in the domestic market. The information was released by UOL.
Juninho and Michael received inquiries from Saudi football, but all proposals involved loans . The model didn't please the players or Mais Querido, preventing any progress in the negotiations.
With no playing time, Michael hasn't played since June 24, when he faced Los Angeles FC in the Club World Cup. After that, he was a substitute against Bayern Munich and only included in the squad against São Paulo and Grêmio , without playing any minutes.
Juninho , meanwhile, played in five games after the World Cup in the United States, always coming on as a substitute. In total, he only played 62 minutes, reflecting the lack of space under Filipe Luís. His last appearance was on August 8 , in a 1-1 draw against Ceará at Castelão.
Bruno Henrique's 12-match suspension, imposed by the Superior Court of Justice (STJD) for match-fixing, could open up opportunities for Juninho and Michael. Flamengo, however, has already announced it will appeal the decision . Currently, competition in their respective sectors remains fierce: in addition to them, the squad includes Pedro, Samuel Lino, Plata, Luiz Araújo, Wallace Yan, and Everton Cebolinha.
Mengão wants to keep the coach at the helm of the squad at least until the end of 2026 and the expectation is that an agreement will be made this year.

Flamengo's current priority is renewing Filipe Luís's contract . The coach's contract runs until the end of 2025 and has already received an offer from the club, which includes an extension until December 2026 , with the option of an automatic renewal for another season.
The main obstacle in the negotiations is financial, but Flamengo 's board believes this won't be a problem. Filipe is expected to present a counteroffer , as his prestige has earned him a salary comparable to that of Brazil's top coaches. This information comes from the 'GE' portal.
Filipe Luís has never hidden his desire to work in Europe at some point in his career . However, he understands that he is still in the process of maturing and is unlikely to take that step now, as the European market tends to be more active in the middle of the year. Therefore, he is likely to remain at Flamengo until at least 2026.
The first proposal was submitted before the Club World Cup, but negotiations were put on hold due to the intense movement during the transfer window. Now, both Filipe's and Arrascaeta's contract renewals are at the top of the club's priorities.
Flamengo is willing to improve its initial offer to seal the deal quickly. The coach has already won the Copa do Brasil (2024) , as well as the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Carioca (2025). He is currently leading the Brasileirão and is in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores.
In charge of the professional team since October 2024, Filipe Luís has only lost six of his 65 matches , with 43 wins and 16 draws. His 74.3% success rate is the best since Jorge Jesus' 81.6% between 2019 and 2020.

The longing for Mengão on the field can be alleviated this Saturday (06). This is because the under-20 team , world champion two weeks ago, returns to play, and soon in a classic against Vasco, for the sixth round of the Carioca Championship of the category . The ball rolls at 9:30 am (Brasília time), in Gávea, with broadcast by FlamengoTV.
The red-and-black team will have some new additions to the team that defeated Barcelona (ESP) in the World Cup final. The starting central defense duo, Iago and João Victor, are with the Brazilian U-20 team , and four world champions have already said goodbye: goalkeeper Lucas Furtado, midfielders Matheus Gonçalves and Lorran, and forward Shola.
Meanwhile, the coach will be counting on the return of Léo Nanneti, one of the heroes of the international triumph. The 18-year-old goalkeeper had a special time completing training with the senior national team at Granja Comary, where he even received praise from Cláudio Taffarel , a four-time world champion. Now, he returns to Flamengo to reinforce the team for the derby.
On a roll, Flamengo thrashed Fluminense 4-0 last Saturday (30), away from home, with three goals from Guilherme and one from Joshua . The result put the Garotos do Ninho in second place in the Carioca, with 10 points in four games.
Vasco, meanwhile, leads the competition with 12 points from five matches. In the last round, the Cruzmaltino beat Boavista 2-1 at São Januário. Like Flamengo, their rival will also be without midfielder Leandrinho for the U-20 national team.
