While preparing for the final of the Campeonato Carioca and the debut in the Copa Libertadores da América, Flamengo was hit by devastating news. Striker Gabigol received a punishment and was banned from playing until next year. Furthermore, he is also prevented from training with the team in Gávea.
Now, behind the scenes, the team is mobilizing to try to resolve the situation, but while the problem is not resolved, Tite, coach of Mengão , ponders how to deal with the issue of center forwards. At the moment, he does not have a second option for the sector on the bench.
With the player's absence, a gap in Mengão's squad becomes evident. Without Gabriel Barbosa, the only center forward available in the Rubro-Negro Carioca squad is Pedro. In this situation, Mengão's top scorer and number 9 would not have any reserve to replace him in his position.
BRUNO HENRIQUE AS AN OPTION FOR THE POSITION< /b>
According to findings by journalist Pablo Raphael from Gazeta do Urubu, the tendency is for Tite to use Bruno Henrique in this role as he has no other option in the squad for any occasion other than having the number 9 “Flamengo will face the Carioca finals and the 1st match of the Libertadores, with only Pedro as 'shirt number 9' in the team”, began the colleague.
The information is that when Gabriel was injured and was absent from the Rio team, BH had already trained in the role. “According to people inside Flamengo, Bruno Henrique was being tested in the role of false 9 in the reserve team when Gabigol was injured”, he informed.
In addition to being very fast, he has excellent finishing, a good height and he does very well in the air. “BH should be an alternative in a possible absence of Pedro during the next matches”, concluded Pablo Raphael.

Leader of the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (03) to face Ceará, away from home, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão. The match will be broadcast by Record, on Open TV, by CazéTV, on YouTube, and by Premiere, on pay-per-view .
With only one player missing for the match, Ceará is expected to field a full-strength squad. The likely starting lineup includes : Bruno Ferreira; Fabiano Souza, Marcos Victor, Willian Machado, and Matheus Bahia; Richardson, Dieguinho, and Galeano; Lourenço, Pedro Henrique, and Pedro Raul. Coach: Léo Condé.
Flamengo should field a full-strength team , maintaining the idea of prioritizing the Brazilian Championship. The tendency is for Mengão to start the game with: Rossi; Varela (Emerson Royal), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro (Ayrton Lucas); Allan (Evertton Araújo), Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Gonzalo Plata, Samuel Lino and Bruno Henrique. Coach: Filipe Luís
Ceará has only one confirmed absence: defender Luiz Otávio, who is injured. Flamengo will be without Erick Pulgar, who is recovering from a fractured right foot , Danilo, who strained his right thigh, and Michael, who is experiencing ankle pain. Luiz Araújo was rested for load control. Pedro and Wallace Yan are suspended for accumulated bookings. De La Cruz remains doubtful.
The midfielder never achieved the expected prominence when he left Mengão for the Spanish capital and is close to becoming a player for the red-black rival.

After a low-key stint in Europe, Reinier, a product of Ninho do Urubu, is back in Brazil. According to Spanish newspaper Marca, the attacking midfielder has already said goodbye to Real Madrid and has reached an agreement with Atlético-MG . The player is expected in Belo Horizonte in the coming days, where he will undergo medical examinations and sign a contract . The contract will be for four and a half years, the newspaper revealed.
Talks between Reinier and Atlético-MG began in June, when the Minas Gerais club launched an inquiry and received a positive response from the player. The initial proposal, a loan with an option to buy, was met with Real Madrid's demand for financial compensation.
As the window progressed, negotiations resumed and culminated in a definitive agreement. In recent weeks, the player had been training with Real Madrid's B team , but according to Marca, he was no longer part of the club's plans.
Before signing with Atlético-MG— Flamengo 's opponent in the Copa do Brasil round of 16—Reinier was speculated as a potential reinforcement for the Rubro-Negro. According to journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira, the Rio de Janeiro club made an inquiry but backed off due to the high costs of the deal.
The decision not to move forward involved not only the contract value, but also the high commissions demanded by the player's representatives— deemed incompatible with the player's current situation . As a result, Flamengo turned its attention to Lucas Beltrán, from Fiorentina.
Reinier arrived at Real Madrid in 2020, surrounded by high expectations, but failed to establish himself at the Spanish club. Unlike Vini Jr., also formerly of Flamengo, and Rodrygo, the midfielder never even played a match at the Santiago Bernabéu .
Over the past five years, he has spent time on loan at Borussia Dortmund, Girona, Granada, and, most recently, Frosinone in Italy— where he enjoyed his best spell since leaving Brazil . In total, he has played 105 matches, scoring seven goals and providing eight assists.
