Bruno Henrique's latest performances made him one of the great "reinforcements" on the eve of the opening of the transfer window. The start, the resourcefulness and the goals returned, but the image produced in the 46th minute of the 1-1 draw with Palmeiras caused chills in the Flamengo fans.


After going up for an aerial dispute, he fell bending his knee and ankle of the left leg. To top it off, he even took a stomp from defender Luan. The diagnosis came last Monday:


"Athlete Bruno Henrique underwent tests that diagnosed ligament strain after spraining his left knee and ankle. The treatment is with physiotherapy".


What could bring despair to the red-blacks in a dynamic reading was seen as encouragement and "a dose of luck" on the part of the player. Bruno Henrique did not tear any ligaments. And another important factor: the injured leg against Palmeiras is not the same as the multiligament injury suffered in June 2022 and which took him out of matches for 10 months.


Although not serious, the combined injury to the knee and ankle is not common. Rene Abdalla, specialist in sports medicine at HCor São Paulo, explained what happened.

"The shock produced a double torsion mechanism between this (ankle) joint and the knee, which is not very common. Usually, one torsion blocks the other. This caused a combined injury", explained Abdalla.

Although Flamengo does not work with deadlines and has not given further details about the injury, the expected recovery time for this type of problem it is from one to three weeks.

The dispute between Internacional and Flamengo over Thiago Maia's debt has entered a new chapter. According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the Rio Grande do Sul club suffered another defeat at the National Chamber for Dispute Resolution (CNRD) , after having its "request for clarification" denied.


According to Venê Casagrande, Colorado still has the option of appealing to the Arbitration Chamber . However, this procedure is often costly and, in most cases, does not change decisions already made by the CNRD. Therefore, Flamengo is closely monitoring the case's developments and hopes to receive the amounts owed directly from Internacional.


The decision requires Internacional to pay €1,472,588.33 (approximately R$9 million at the current exchange rate) for the breach of contract involving Thiago Maia. In addition, the Rio Grande do Sul club must pay R$51,211.99 in legal costs.


NEGOTIATION WITH SANTOS

Back in 2025, during a transfer window, Santos tried to sign Thiago Maia . However, the deal ended up not moving forward precisely because of this legal dispute between Internacional and Flamengo .

After a turbulent start to the season, Boto decided to reduce external communication and focus on internal results. The Flamengo director, who initially spoke openly to the press, both after matches and through digital channels, decided to change his stance after successive leaks of important information .


At the request of president Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap) after a long meeting, Boto stopped any direct contact with major media outlets , starting to work more privately behind the scenes at the club.


The change in approach was accompanied by results . After a positive transfer window, in which he sought to fulfill coach Filipe Luís's main requests, the manager also managed to calm internal friction. Players like Arrascaeta , De La Cruz, and Pedro, who previously had a distant relationship with Boto, now have a more fluid and relaxed dialogue.


NEGOTIATIONS AND RENEWALS

Currently, Boto continues working on specific renewals, such as those of Filipe Luís and Arrascaeta. He also participated in sales negotiations for promising young players from the youth academy , such as Matheus Gonçalves and Lorran, reinforcing the strategic and quiet approach of his management.
