After the behind-the-scenes fight, Flamengo and the Ecuadorian Federation reached an agreement for Gonzalo Plata . Thus, the Ecuadorian entity spoke out in a statement about the situation involving the striker, who was released from the national team.
Just like Mais Querido, the Ecuadorian Federation confirmed that Plata will return to Rio de Janeiro after the match between Ecuador and Brazil, on Thursday (5). Thus, the player will return to Flamengo next Friday (6) to continue the treatment of the edema in his right knee.
"The Ecuadorian Football Federation informs that, after carrying out the corresponding medical evaluations and the meeting between our medical team and that of Flamengo, the joint decision was made that the player Gonzalo Plata will remain in the Ecuadorian National Team delegation until the match against Brazil. After the match, he will return to his club to complete his recovery process.
We reiterate our commitment to always act in the best interest of player health and in coordination with the clubs to which our players belong."
In recent weeks, the Ecuadorian Federation sent doctors to Rio to perform tests at Plata 's home, without Flamengo's knowledge. The Rubro-Negro issued a statement highlighting the lack of communication about the situation and the risk of the athlete's injury worsening.
Even though Rubro-Negro asked for Plata not to be called up, Ecuador called the player, who appeared last Monday (2) in Guayaquil. However, after new medical evaluations, the Ecuadorian team agreed with Flamengo , which stated that the striker is not fit to play.
Thus, with Plata returning to Rio de Janeiro, Flamengo 's medical department will continue preparing the striker for the Super World Cup. Rubro-Negro makes its debut in the tournament on June 16, against Esperánce (TUN).

Flamengo has received a high-value offer from Superbet to fill the master sponsorship slot currently held by Pixbet. The information was released by Poder360. Under the current contract, Pixbet holds the right to match any offer before the club signs a new agreement , thus ensuring the possibility of maintaining the exclusive jersey design.
This clause is included in the contract signed between the parties, which prevents a direct sponsor change without the current partner having the opportunity to match the amounts. It's now up to Pixbet to decide whether to continue with the main sponsorship or make way for Superbet.
Pixbet currently holds the most valuable master sponsorship contract in Brazilian soccer, with staggered annual payments: R$105 million in the first year, R$115 million in the second, and R$125 million in the third . The club also receives bonuses related to FlaBet, which is featured on another part of the kit, reinforcing the importance of partnerships with the betting industry for annual revenue.
The board carefully evaluates all aspects of the proposal, weighing the financial and strategic impact of the change. Ensuring economic stability is seen as essential to maintaining competitiveness in national and international tournaments.
While discussing the issue off the pitch, Flamengo is preparing to face Internacional this Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã , for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. The result will be crucial for the club's ambitions in the competition.

Flamengo and Internacional face each other this Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. Coach Filipe Luís will not have Arrascaeta, suspended, and will have more absences due to injury, but there is an expectation for the return of important names.
Mengão should have the return of Jorginho, who was absent from the team in the last match in the Brazilian Championship, when the team beat Mirassol 2-1. Nico De La Cruz, who has not played since July 16 due to a left knee injury , trained with the squad on Monday (11) and could be included. Training on Tuesday (12) will define his presence among those called up.
The most likely lineup for the match is: Rossi; Alex Sandro, Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, and Emerson Royal; Allan, Jorginho, Samuel Lino, Luiz Araújo, and Plata; Pedro. Coach: Filipe Luís.
Among the confirmed absences are Erick Pulgar, recovering from surgery on the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, and Danilo, who is undergoing treatment for a hamstring injury in his right thigh. Arrascaeta is also out due to suspension after receiving his third yellow card in the group stage against Deportivo Táchira.
The ball kicks off at 9:30 p.m. at Maracanã Stadium , and a packed house is expected to push Flamengo toward the return leg, scheduled for the 20th at Beira-Rio. The Rio de Janeiro team's goal is to build a comfortable lead and take advantage of the home advantage to put pressure on their opponents.
