Pedro is out of Flamengo's season after suffering a serious injury in training with the Brazilian team. Thus, Rodolfo Landim, representative of Mais Querido, blamed the CBF and highlighted that there was a mistake in the team's activities involving the athlete. However, for Rodrigo Caetano, coordinator of the entity, there is no "villain" in the case.
"Unfortunately it was an accident, a fatality. It was the second day of training, the first was recovery. Even before starting training unfortunately had this accident that took him out of the season, which we regret. The CBF did what needed to be done, provided all the necessary conditions and made the necessary investment for him to return to Rio de Janeiro as quickly as possible. If he started training, he could have surgical intervention", continued Caetano.
"Now we have to follow and support him because Flamengo has great professionals and will manage his recovery very well. There is mandatory insurance from FIFA in addition to insurance contracted by the CBF. This is being conducted by the legal department, but I believe it is a right. What I can tell you is that the CBF is a facilitator in every way, not Pedro. , and yes, Flamengo is entitled to this type of compensation", concluded Rodrigo.
Mais Querido's agent, Rodolfo Landim , accuses the Brazilian team of imposing a high burden on Pedro in team training during the preparation for the 2026 World Cup qualifying friendlies. It is worth remembering that the red-black number 9 had just returned from an injury that left him off the field for a month.

Since Pedro's injury, Flamengo and CBF have been on a "collision course". This is because the number 9 was seriously injured while training with the Brazilian team and will now be out for the rest of the season. According to Rodolfo Landim, there was a loading error in the team's training on the player, who was returning from injury at the club. This Friday (20), Rodrigo Caetano, coordinator of the entity, responded to the red-black president.
"I'm not here to analyze any statement regarding this. I can say that there are great professionals here at CBF who have been there for for a long time, they are permanent members of the house and have carried out this work over all these years. Not only does this load control exist, we took all the care in the world", said Caetano, to GE, about the situation involving Pedro. .
"Now, analysis whether it was or wasn't, I'm not going to get into that debate. We always generate any and all types of reports, not only for Flamengo, Atlético-MG… For all clubs, for everything athletes they have been doing since the first day they arrive here. Obviously, in our view, all these protocols were respected", added the CBF director.
TIME OF PEDRO'S RECOVERYLast Friday On Friday (13), Pedro underwent surgery and the procedure was successful. Thus, the red-black number 9 is racing against time aiming for the 2025 season. The estimated recovery period for this type of injury is around eight months. The red-black department believes that the striker is ready for the 2025 World Cup.
FOCUS ON THE SEASONThus, without Pedro, Flamengo has been trying to readapt with Carlinhos and Gabigol in the attack. However, the attackers are lacking the rhythm of the game and are unable to stand out. Thus, Tite will only have the two athletes for the remainder of the season.
