Flamengo suffered from several important absences in the current season. Pedro, Matías Viña, Everton Cebolinha and Arrascaeta undergo treatment for injuries and advance stages after surgery. Márcio Tannure, Health and High Performance manager at Mais Querido, revealed the return projection for each athlete.
In addition to talking about deadlines, Tannure also highlighted, in an interview with FlaTV, that the Mais Querido Medical Department prioritizes compliance with steps of recovery. Therefore, the players' return projection is just an estimate, which may change during the process.
ESTIMATE RETURN FROM VIÑA:
“Viña He had a multiligament injury, a complex injury, but it is progressing as expected. Everyone knows that this injury takes at least ten to 12 months for him to return. And as I said, depending on, it may come back close to ten or 11 or 12 or 13, with the steps completed, but the important thing is that it comes back well.”
Expected return: between June and September 2025
PEDRO RETURN:
“Pedro he had a ligament injury, it was not a multi-ligament injury, like Viña's, who in addition to the multi-ligament injury also had a bone fracture, which has an even greater impact on this rehabilitation. So, the average expected return for Pedro is between 8 and 10 months, but that's why we say the average. I made a point of making it very clear that we are not concerned with the deadline, but rather with stages. Some players may complete the steps sooner, others may take longer, but they will only return when they are full.”
Estimated date:between May and July 2025
CEAVE RETURNS AND ARRASCAETA:
“Everton Cebolinha and Arrascaeta had different injuries. Cebolinha's injury is a more serious, more complex injury, resulting from the rupture of the Achilles tendon. And Arrascaeta had a meniscus injury and also had surgery on his knee. As they were at different times, they have different recovery periods. So, we believe that the two have been training with the group since the beginning of the pre-season, so that they can prepare with all their injuries healed, treated, and looking for the best shape.”
Expected dates for return of both: January 2025
FOCUS FOR THE 2025 SEASON
So, It is possible that Everton Cebolinha and Arrascaeta will be available to do the pre-season in the United States with the rest of the Red and Black squad. Mais Querido will face São Paulo on January 19th, in Florida.
Mengão reached an agreement with Dynamo Moscow to sign the midfielder, but the Russian club did not send a document authorizing the official announcement.

Although he was the first signing by Flamengo in this transfer window, midfielder Jorge Carrascal was the last to show up in Rio de Janeiro . According to the 'GE' portal, the last document signed by the Russian club arrived at Flamengo late in the afternoon of this Friday (1st). With that, the official announcement of the player will be made in the coming days, after the conclusion of pending procedures with Atlético-MG.
The reason for the delay was that Dynamo Moscow, his former club, took too long to complete the necessary paperwork for the transfer . The Russian team only released the Colombian after signing Rubens from Atlético-MG as a replacement.
At Dynamo's request, Flamengo will participate in the payment to Atlético-MG for Rubens' acquisition. Thus, a significant portion of the €12 million (R$77 million) invested by Carrascal will go to the Minas Gerais club.
Despite being in Rio since Wednesday, Carrascal has not yet been regularized with the CBF, which prevents him from playing in the next matches — against Ceará, this Sunday (3), for the Brasileirão, and against Atlético-MG, Wednesday (7), for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The registration deadlines for both matches have already expired.
The Colombian's debut is scheduled for August 9th against Mirassol at Maracanã, in the final round of the first half of the Brazilian Championship . Having been training regularly and playing for Dinamo, Carrascal is expected to be available to Filipe Luís as soon as he is officially confirmed. He has already passed the medical exams but will only be able to train with the club after being registered.
Alvinegro still owed Mengão for the signing of Matheuzinho, but managed to deposit a huge amount to close the matter.

Flamengo received, this Friday (1st), another millionaire amount related to the sale of right-back Matheuzinho. Corinthians paid around R$ 14 million to Rubro-Negro , paying off the remaining amount of the negotiation made in February of this year.
At the time, the Rio de Janeiro club sold the player for R$21.48 million, but Corinthians delayed the third installment of the agreement. As a result, Flamengo demanded immediate payment of the entire outstanding amount . The information was initially reported by the portal Meu Timão.
To facilitate the payment, Corinthians signed an agreement with Brax, the company responsible for marketing advertising signs for both clubs. The company acted as guarantor for the deal and transferred the funds to Flamengo .
By August, Corinthians had already paid R$8 million directly to the Rio de Janeiro club. It then transferred R$7.58 million to Brax , which topped up the amount with another R$6 million , fully settling the debt with the club.
While the board celebrates receiving the amount, Flamengo remains focused on the field. The team led by Filipe Luís returns to play this Sunday (3), against Ceará, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast live on Premiere, on pay-per-view.

Flamengo has already made four signings official this transfer window , but the delay in negotiations has drawn criticism from some fans . During striker Samuel Lino's presentation, football director José Boto spoke out on the matter and apologized to the Flamengo Nation.
“Sometimes things take a little longer than the fans want, and I apologize to the fans, but we ( Flamengo 's board) have fixed ideas, and as long as it's possible to have the players we want , we'll go after it,” explained Boto.
Brazilian football's second transfer window opened on July 10th, and Flamengo began the period cautiously, monitoring the market and evaluating options. As the weeks progressed, the board accelerated negotiations and secured four key signings : Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, Samuel Lino, and Jorge Carrascal.
Despite the names already confirmed, Flamengo remains attentive to the market. The club is in ongoing negotiations with Fiorentina, Italy, to sign striker Lucas Beltrán . Flamengo has already agreed on a fee with the Italian club, but still needs to convince the Argentine player to return to South America.
While the board works behind the scenes, the squad led by Filipe Luís focuses on the challenges on the field. Flamengo's next match is this Sunday (3), against Ceará , at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.
