With the aim of recovering injured players during the FIFA Data break, Flamengo has a great chance of counting on Gabigol and Léo Pereira on their return in a game against Bahia, on September 12th (Thursday), at Maracanã . The match is worth a place in the semi-finals of the Copa do Brasil, and Rubro-Negro will still re-evaluate the condition of Arrascaeta and other injured players when they get closer to the duel.
Gabigol was injured in the 2-0 victory over Bolívar, in the September 15th, and should return to the related list after practically a month of recovery. Camisa 99 has already started the transition work on the field and will resume training with the rest of the group.
Léo Pereira was left out of the game against Corinthians, on Sunday, due to a knee sprain suffered precisely against o Bahia. The defender “gained” free weeks to recover, and the tendency is for him to only miss the team for one game. He is a starter in Tite's team and, depending on his condition, will start in the starting 11. The probable return of Gabigol and Léo Pereira for Flamengo x Bahia was published by “UOL”.
But, in addition to the duo, there is an expectation that Arrascaeta will evolve to the point of also being involved in the decision in the Copa do Brasil . The Uruguayan is recovering from a muscle injury to his thigh adductor and, according to the portal, he will be re-evaluated as he improves on a daily basis and has the chance to play.
Nico de la Cruz, who is the coach Fábio Mahseredjian stated that he suffered from a “very small” injury, he remains in the medical department and is in doubt. Michael is out and should only return in October, while Cebolinha and Vinã do not return this season.
Flamengo has an advantage in the Copa do Brasil
Flamengo has the advantage of being able to draw to advance against Bahia in the Brazilian Cup. This is because, after an open and difficult game, Mais Querido left Fonte Nova with a 1-0 victory and will decide their place alongside the fans at Maracanã.
In addition, the red-black team from Rio has a few days of preparation to recover the important names in the squad who are injured and also for Tite to make adjustments to the team. The performance was the target of criticism in August, and the expectation is that the rest period will make the team return to the level it already presented this year.
Discussions about a new contract between the number 10 and Mengão came to light at the beginning of the year, but the idea was left aside by the club.
