Flamengo now turns its attention to the Copa Libertadores. This Thursday (22), Rubro-Negro will face Bolívar (BOL), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), in La Paz, seeking a place in the quarterfinals of the continental tournament. However, the team led by Tite will have to deal with six important absences for the match, which could directly impact performance on the field.
The problems began with the confirmation, this Tuesday (20) , that Arrascaeta will not be able to participate in the match due to physical issues. The Uruguayan midfielder, one of the main players in the squad, is a significant absence for the team, especially in a game away from home and in adverse conditions such as those at the altitude of La Paz. In addition to him, Gabigol and Pedro, two of the team's main attackers team, are also out of the game due to physical problems. The absence of these three players forces coach Tite to rethink the tactical scheme, as he will lose a lot in offensive power.
THE MOST FAVORITE HAS STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS
The situation is even more complicated with the absence of Matías Viña and Everton Cebolinha, who underwent surgery and will no longer play this season. Both were important options for the wing and the attack, respectively, and their absences leave Flamengo without strong alternatives to replace the starters. Another missing weight is Allan, who was prevented from traveling to Bolivia after showing signs of sickle cell disease, a condition that prevents athletes from performing at high altitudes, such as La Paz.
Despite the significant casualties, not everything It's a concern for Flamengo. The return of Chilean Erick Pulgar to the team is a positive point for Tite. Pulgar was suspended in the last Brasileirão match against Botafogo, but is free to play in the Libertadores, bringing more stability to the team's midfield. Furthermore, reinforcements Nicolás de la Cruz and Luiz Araújo, who trained normally with the squad, are available for the match. The presence of these players gives Tite more options, especially in terms of creating plays and controlling the ball in midfield.

Renan Lodi 's future has once again become a topic of discussion in Brazilian football following his tumultuous departure from Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal. The 27-year-old full-back unilaterally terminated his contract , claiming he had been barred from playing in the Saudi Arabian Championship. In response, the club announced it intends to take legal action against the player.
Lodi, a free agent, was quickly linked to Brazilian clubs, but Flamengo has no intention of entering the fray. The board believes the squad is already well-stocked at left-back and there's no need for reinforcements at this time.
Coach Filipe Luís currently has Ayrton Lucas as a solid starter and Matías Viña as an immediate alternative. Additionally, Alex Sandro is in the final stages of recovery and should expand the coach's options soon. The arrival of another full-back could create a surplus of players in Flamengo 's defense.
Another factor that influenced the decision not to move forward with negotiations was the financial aspect. Renan Lodi has a history of high salaries since his time at Atlético de Madrid , Nottingham Forest, and Al-Hilal. Investing in a player with this profile is seen by the board as unnecessary in the club's current situation.
Meanwhile, Renan Lodi publicly defends his decision to leave Al-Hilal. In a letter posted on social media, the full-back stated that he could not be prevented from practicing his profession and that he tried, unsuccessfully, to resolve the situation amicably with the Arab club.
The Brazilian full-back who caught the eye in the national team continues to thrive in Italy, creating chances for the Roman team and being among the team's best despite the setback
