0Next Wednesday (31), Flamengo will face Palmeiras in the first game of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, at 8pm (Brasília time). Both teams have already won the competition four times and are in contention for their fifth title. The match will be broadcast on Premiere, Rede Globo's pay-per-view service.
Forward Estêvão, substituted in the defeat to Vitória after twisting his left ankle again, is doubtful for the clash against Flamengo. If the young player is unable to play, coach Abel Ferreira will have to choose a replacement for the right winger, counting on options such as Dudu, Felipe Anderson, Maurício and Mayke.
If Estêvão does not play, Palmeiras' most likely lineup should be: Weverton; Marcos Rocha, Gómez, Murilo and Vanderlan; Aníbal Moreno, Zé Rafael and Raphael Veiga; Dudu, Felipe Anderson and López. This lineup offers a balance between experience and youth, aiming to face the strong Flamengo.

0Another decisive factor in Tite's assessment is Gabigol. The coach highlighted that the attacker has been dealing with recurring physical problems, which hampers his preparation and participation in games. Injuries not only prevent a player from maintaining a streak, they also affect their confidence and ability to perform at a high level. Without being 100% physically, the tendency is for the player to avoid greater efforts, which, in practice, compromises his performance.
Tite was clear in stating that caution is needed when using an athlete who is not in good health. full conditions. Forcing Gabigol's return before he is fully recovered could worsen his physical condition, further compromising his season and the team's planning. Gabigol's absence has a significant impact on the Flamengo team, both due to the technical quality he brings to the attack and his leadership on the field.
However, Tite highlighted that the athlete's health and well-being are priorities, and that forcing his presence without the appropriate conditions would be harmful not only for the player, but for the team as a whole. Even with Gabigol's absence, Flamengocontinues to look for alternatives in the squad to maintain a good performance in competitions.
The responsibility for maintaining a competitive level falls on other players, and coach Tite has used this opportunity to test new formations and strategies, aiming to minimize the impacts of the lack of one of the country's main attackers.< /p>
The club has the support of the coach

0Coach Tite explained the absence of Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, in the latest squads and games for Flamengo. According to the coach, the striker faces a series of physical problems that have compromised his performance on the field since his arrival at the club. Furthermore, recurring injuries and the lack of continuity at a high intensity level have been determining factors in the player not being available in important matches.
Gabigol, who has become a fundamental player at Flamengo in recent years, has been suffering from a loss of rhythm in the game and, consequently, a drop in performance. According to Tite, the attacker is not in ideal conditions to compete at the highest level, which justifies his absence from the most recent squads.
FLAMENGO HAS A PROBLEM AHEADThe main point raised for Tite to justify Gabigol's absence is the player's physical condition. He mentioned that the striker has not been able to maintain regularity in terms of intensity during training and matches. This directly affects the athlete's performance, who is no longer able to perform in the same way as before. For Tite, the lack of continuity at a high level of performance is one of the biggest concerns.
This scenario calls into question the ability of Gabigolin contributing effectively to the team, since Flamengo has a tight schedule, with important games both in national and international competitions. Tite was direct in pointing out that, at the moment, the player does not have the appropriate physical conditions to face this pace of play.
The match promises to be a high-level clash

0Next Sunday (11), the Palmeiras will face an important challenge when facing Flamengo, and the team could enter the field with up to three absences due to injuries. Estêvão, one of the players in question, recently began the transition process towards recovery, but is still expected to be out of the match. The player, who had been contributing to the team, is recovering and still has no definite return date. His situation could impact the formation of the team, as his presence was considered important for the coach's tactical scheme
Another player who may not be available is Mayke. He is suffering from pain in his right calf and there is a possibility that he will be spared from the clash against Flamengo to avoid worsening the injury. Mayke's absence would leave a gap on the right flank, and the Palmeiras coach will have to look for alternatives to replace him.
FLAMENGO HAS GOOD NEWS
Felipe Anderson is also a point of concern. He recently suffered an eye injury and, as a result, it is likely that he will not be able to participate in the game. The lack of Felipe Anderson could affect the team's midfield, given that he has been a key player in recent matches.
With these possible absences, Palmeiras will face a Flamengo who also comes from good performances and will be prepared to take advantage of any opportunity. The Palmeiras coach will have to adjust his strategies to deal with absences and maintain the team's performance. The absence of these players could be a crucial factor in the dispute, and Palmeiras will need to find quick solutions to maintain their competitive level. Flamengo, in turn, will try to take advantage of their opponent's weaknesses and continue their positive trajectory in the championship
