Tite received great news this Thursday (4), at Ninho do Urubu. This is because Gerson has been improving after surgery to treat a kidney problem and carried out his first activity with the group. With this, the Joker signals an earlier return than planned.

Since Monday (1st), Gerson trains with the ball at Ninho do Urubu. According to GE, the star no longer feels pain in the surgery region and Flamengo believes that the player will return soon, bringing forward the initial deadline of the end of April or beginning of May.


In addition, the Joker It has also been impressive in terms of its physical appearance. Coach Fábio Mahseredjian praises the idol, as does Tite. Now, he is trying to race against time to be available for the Libertadores, Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil games. Despite the great progress, his presence in the Carioca final, this Sunday (7), remains ruled out.


Gerson's last game was on February 12th, that is, almost two months ago, against Volta Redonda also for the Guanabara Cup. The midfielder started the season as a crucial piece for coach Tite's gear to work, and even became the team's captain. Without Gerson, Arrascaeta assumed this role, while De La Cruz took the lead in midfield.

Even during this period away from the field, Gerson remained active at Flamengo. He attends most games at Maracanã and goes to the locker room before and after the match to talk to his teammates. Camisa 8 also likes to inform red and black people about his health status through social media.

Tite received two other great news


But it wasn't only Gerson made Tite smile in Ninho this week. De La Cruz and Varela, who worried in the Libertadores debut, should not be missing for Flamengo against Nova Iguaçu this Sunday.

De La Cruz did not go to the field against Millonarios. He developed a virus and had a fever, and he wasn't even on the bench. As a result, the team ended up suffering without one of its main players. Varela played the entire match, and felt pain at 87, asking to leave. The Uruguayan duo trained normally at Ninho and could go to the Carioca final, where Flamengo already has a great 3-0 lead.
