Furthermore, he hit the 2 long-distance shots he attempted, proving to be a valid option in creating offensive plays.

Midfielder Erick Pulgar may be close to returning to Flamengo . Between Thursday (11) and Friday (12), the player will undergo a CT scan to evaluate the fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, suffered at the end of June. The exam will be decisive in defining the stage of recovery and the deadline for returning to the field.
The analysis will show the medical department the degree of bone healing . There are two possible scenarios:
The Chilean midfielder was injured on June 29th during Flamengo 's match against Bayern Munich in the Club World Cup. Days later, he underwent surgery in Chile and has since followed a strict recovery protocol.
A starter before his injury, Pulgar has been missing from the squad's rotation. Despite the strong partnership between Saúl and Jorginho, the coaching staff considers the Chilean a key player in maintaining the midfield's competitiveness.

Uruguay secured a direct spot in the 2026 World Cup by beating Peru 3-0 this Thursday (04). One of the big names in the match was Arrascaeta , Flamengo's number 10, who participated in the first goal and also left his mark . The performance was highlighted in the Uruguayan newspaper El País, which praised the red-black midfielder.
El País on Flamengo's Arrascaeta: "He directly influences Uruguay's performance"
"Giorgian de Arrascaeta was the star, not only for the goal, but for his constant involvement in the attack, something rarely seen before. On several occasions, La Celeste used the central corridor, while he moved to appear free and receive the ball at an advantage," the publication reported.
The analysis also highlighted the midfielder's impact on the national team: "Having Flamengo 's number 10 in great form—with 31 goal contributions in 46 games in 2025—directly influences Uruguay's performance. He took several chances before being rewarded with the goal 12 minutes into the second half."
Arrascaeta, a starter in the match, initiated the play that led to Rodrigo Aguirre's goal in the 14th minute of the first half. In the second half, he capitalized on a cross from Varela, also of Flamengo , and scored a stunning goal to extend the lead . In the final minutes, Viñas completed the victory for La Celeste.
Having one of the best seasons of his career, the midfielder has made 46 appearances this year, scoring 19 goals and providing 13 assists , including appearances for Flamengo and the Uruguayan national team. His goal now is to maintain his high level to be on the squad for the 2026 World Cup.
Arrascaeta and his teammates return to the field next Tuesday (09), at 8 pm (Brasília time), against Chile, at the National Stadium, in Santiago, for the 18th round of the Qualifiers. The star should be available to coach Filipe Luís next Sunday (14), when Flamengo faces Juventude for the Brasileirão.

Saturday (6) was a day of preparation at Ninho do Urubu during the FIFA break. During the training, coach Filipe Luís received great news : Jorginho completed the second consecutive day of training on the field and should be available for the next match.
The Italian-Brazilian was absent from the team in recent rounds after feeling pain in his thigh during the 8-0 thrashing of Vitória. After being rested against Grêmio, he returned to training normally this week and is cleared to face Juventude, next Sunday (14), in the Brasileirão.
In addition to Jorginho, Flamengo is also awaiting the recovery of Alex Sandro . The full-back suffered a left calf injury in the first half against Vitória and did not play in the 1-1 draw against Grêmio at Maracanã.
Since then, he has been undergoing intensive treatment in the medical department. The FIFA World Cup break is expected to help his progress, but his appearance against Juventude still depends on his response in the coming days.
Flamengo leads the championship and returns to action on September 14th at 4 pm (Brasília time) against Juventude in Caxias do Sul. Their opponents are in 18th place with 21 points from 21 matches and are fighting to escape the relegation zone.
