Felipe Vizeu is recovered from injury and will reinforce Criciúma against Flamengo next Saturday (20). Thus, after the period absent for medical reasons, the attacker will be able to play against the team that revealed him. The athlete had been out for more than a month due to an injury to the back of his thigh. However, he will be available against Corinthians on Tuesday (16). His last game was against Palmeiras, held on June 2. With just two matches for the Brasileirão, Vizeu has already been fit since the last round, but did not play against Fluminense due to the caution of Criciúma's technical committee.
“He will be available against Corinthians. In this game (against Fluminense) we didn't bring him in because he hadn't done a collective in the open field yet. With the amount of rain that is occurring, the fields are difficult to work on and these athletes who have injuries are at greater risk. He is available and we will define it” said Tencati, the club's coach, in a press conference.
In the last five games in which he participated, Vizeu participated in the 4-0 defeat against Vasco and assertive performances against Atlético- MG and Youth. Furthermore, the player also has 15 games and four goals in the Santa Catarina championship.
Lei do Ex? Felipe Vizeu will face Flamengo for the 2nd time

On that occasion, the creation of the Fla started as a reserve and was called on in the 77th minute. He took the place of Léo Moura, another former Mengão player, but couldn't do anything.

Flamengo officially announced Gerson 's departure on July 4, 2025, after Zenit of Russia paid the player's release clause . Since then, some Flamengo fans have questioned whether the midfielder was satisfied with the move. Teammate Douglas Santos, full-back at the Russian club, assured that the "Joker" is happy with the new phase of his career.
" Zenit is a great club that welcomes foreign players very well. I've been there for six years, and they've been improving this every year. They're even learning Portuguese to welcome Brazilians. Gerson was definitely welcomed and is happy ," said Douglas Santos in an interview in the mixed zone.
Introduced shortly after the FIFA Club World Cup, Gerson has already played six matches wearing the number 9 jersey for Zenit. So far, he has yet to score or provide any assists. The midfielder has started four matches, totaling 341 minutes on the pitch.
Before his transfer, Gerson had spent more than two years in his second stint at Gávea. In total, he played 253 matches, scoring 19 goals and providing 34 assists. During his time there, he won major titles: a Libertadores, two Brazilian Championships, a Copa do Brasil, four Cariocas, three Brazilian Super Cups, and a Recopa Sudamericana.
Gerson 's departure was for a fee of €25 million (approximately R$160 million). The sum represented one of the largest transfers Mengão has received in recent years, but it didn't lessen the weight of the departure of one of the team's technical leaders.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti has selected five athletes from the youth ranks of Rio de Janeiro clubs to participate in the Brazilian national team's training session in Teresópolis. Among those selected is Léo Nanneti, Flamengo's goalkeeper, who shone in the Under-20 Intercontinental Cup victory over Barcelona.
During a press conference, four-time world champion and current goalkeeping coach for the Brazilian national team, Taffarel , made a point of joking and praising the young Flamengo player. " I didn't like him. I didn't like him because in the first training session he asked me to put gloves on him (laughs) ," he said before concluding.
" You know those gloves that are really tight? You can put one on and you can't put the other on. He said, 'Professor, can you put the glove on with me?' I said, 'Get out of here now' (laughs). I'm a coach, I'm not a glove fitter," he said in a relaxed tone.
Tafarel then revealed his admiration for the youngster: " He's a really cool kid. I didn't even realize he was the goalkeeper in that final (of the U-20 World Cup). I was really happy he came here with us; he has great potential. I liked him, especially because he's an 18-year-old kid, but he already has a real professional attitude. I'm sure he'll bring a lot of joy to Flamengo," he concluded.
Léo Nanneti, who came through Flamengo 's youth ranks since the U-9s, is considered one of the club's brightest prospects. A key player in the U-20 World Cup final, the goalkeeper saved two penalty kicks against Barcelona , securing the title for Mengão.
