Fluminense is racing against time to have a major reinforcement for the next match against Flamengo, scheduled for this Sunday (20), for the Brasileirão . The rival from Laranjeiras has finalized the details for the return of striker John Kennedy, who was on loan to Pachuca-MEX and is working behind the scenes to regularize the player's situation in time for Fla-Flu.
According to "ge", the tricolor board met with representatives of the Mexican club on Monday morning (14) and sealed the agreement to terminate the loan , already announced by the Mexican club. To count on the early return of the striker, whose contract in Mexico would run until the end of the year, Fluminense will pay financial compensation.
According to journalist Victor Lessa, John Kennedy is expected in Rio de Janeiro in the coming days to report back to coach Renato Gaúcho. Upon his arrival, the club will begin the final phase of the paperwork, which involves registering with the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID).
In order to be legally eligible to take the field on Sunday, his name must be published in the system by next Friday (18). The striker's return comes just over six months after moving to Mexican football, where he rose to prominence. Wearing the number 10 shirt for Pachuca, John Kennedy scored nine goals and provided one assist in 12 matches, quickly winning over the local fans with his decisive performances.
The player was even included in the squad for the Mexican team's match last Sunday, but was cut due to advanced negotiations for his return to Fluminense.
This isn't the first time Fluminense has loaned a player out and then successfully re-signed him the same year. In 2023, after playing in the Campeonato Paulista for Ferroviária, John Kennedy returned to the club and became a key player in the campaign that culminated in the Libertadores title, scoring the decisive goal in the final.
Before next Sunday's classic, at 7:30 pm (Brasília time), Flamengo and Fluminense play in the middle of the week. The current Rio champion faces Santos, on Wednesday (16), at 8 pm, at Vila Belmiro. The defeated team in the State final faces Cruzeiro, on Thursday (17), at 7:30 pm, at Maracanã, which can help Mais Querido in the table, since the Minas Gerais club has the same number of points, with one more game.

Flamengo received important news this Monday (4). Midfielder Arrascaeta underwent tests at the club's training center, Ninho do Urubu, which ruled out any muscle injury in the thigh. Thus, the number 10 is fit to reinforce the team in the return match against Atlético-MG , in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.
The Uruguayan was substituted at halftime of the match against Ceará last weekend after complaining of muscle discomfort. The decision to withdraw him was made by coach Filipe Luís as a preventative measure , avoiding the worsening of a possible clinical condition.
The player's departure at half-time caused apprehension among fans, who feared the absence of the team's main playmaker in a decisive match. However, tests carried out on Monday ruled out any medical concerns , and Arrascaeta is available to the coaching staff for the match against Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (6).
Internally, the news was received enthusiastically, particularly given the tactical importance the midfielder represents to the team's attacking system . If he's fully fit by game day, Arrascaeta is likely to start.
After a 1-0 defeat in the first leg at Maracanã, Flamengo needs to win by two goals to secure a direct spot in the quarterfinals. If Flamengo wins by one goal, the match will go to penalties . A draw or another defeat in Belo Horizonte will result in Flamengo 's elimination from the competition.
