Flamengo's new coach, Filipe Luís stated that Luiz Araújo and Everton Cebolinha are already seeing the light at the end of the recovery tunnel of the important and serious injuries they suffered in 2024.However, do they have an optimistic deadline for returning to Flamengo? What stage are they at? Will it be possible to count on both of them this season?
The coaching staff hopes to count on just Luiz Araújo later this season. The player, however, is expected to return at the end of November. Until he resumes his playing rhythm, he should only be available for the final rounds of the Brasileirão, which ends on December 7th. Cebolinha's case was more complicated, but he has been recovering well. The optimism in this case is because his hamstring problem is less serious than the situations of Pedro and Matias Viña. Even so, the player has been well evaluated internally.
Both are in the low-impact gym activity stage. Even with some exercises using a ball, the road is still long. They need to undergo physiotherapy, return to the field and do all the transition until their definitive return. Flamengo is preparing both to be 100% in next year's pre-season. The club has not yet finalized its plans, but wants to have a period of preparation with Filipe Luís and the squad.
Whoever is still coming back this year is definitely De la Cruz. The Uruguayan should take a month to recover from his thigh injury and will miss the Copa do Brasil finals, but not the season.
"We have a very lean group, we can't preserve many people because we are what we are. We have injuries, serious injuries. Some are already returning, Cebolinha and Luiz Araújo already see the light at the end of the tunnel. What I I look at this game now. Of course the final is here, it's the game of the year. Everyone knows how important this title is here. Some will play, others will rest, but always thinking about beating Inter. , which is the most important."

Flamengo showed strength and organization from the opening whistle to defeat Internacional in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores Round of 16, controlling the action against the Colorado team in a packed Maracanã stadium. Just 12 minutes in, Luiz Araújo nearly opened the scoring with a powerful shot saved by Rochet . The pressure continued, and Filipe Luís 's team maintained possession, preventing the Gauchos from creating opportunities.
The reward came in the 27th minute: a corner kick from Luiz Araújo found Bruno Henrique , who rose above the Colorado defense and headed the ball firmly into the right corner, opening the scoring. The offensive dominance continued until halftime, but without extending the lead, while Rossi didn't have to work in the first 45 minutes.
In the final stage, the pace of the match slowed, and Internacional managed to balance the action more , but with little effectiveness. The coach made changes to revive the team, bringing on Everton, Carrascal, and Pedro, among others.
The red-and-black defense, well-positioned, managed to neutralize the opposing attempts. Rossi was solid on the few occasions he was called upon, including with crosses and shots from mid-range. Up front, Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araújo continued to try to extend the lead, but their chances failed to convert.
Next Sunday (17), Flamengo will face Internacional again, this time for the Brazilian Championship. Soon after, the return match on the day (20), for the most important competition in South America.
