Flamengo started 2025 with a major challenge: dealing with the high number of players in the medical department. In just three months, the team has already had 11 players out due to physical problems, even before the kick-off of the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores . The frequency of injuries has been an obstacle for coach Filipe Luís, who is trying to maintain the team's performance.

GERSON HAS PHYSICAL EXHAUSTION AND BECOMES A DOUBT

One of the main concerns at the moment is Gerson . The midfielder left the field in the 28th minute of the first half of the match between Brazil and Colombia, according to the FIFA Date, causing concern among Mengão fans. Although the tests did not detect any injury, the player is showing signs of physical fatigue that could keep him out of the team's debut in the Brasileirão.

FLAMENGO AND CBF: RUMORS OF FRICTION

With Gerson's situation, rumors arose that the club had blamed the Brazilian National Team, believing that the player was overworked during training. However, an investigation by MundoBola Flamengo denied this information, guaranteeing that the Rubro-Negro has no problem with the CBF. Even before undergoing tests at Ninho do Urubu, Gerson was evaluated by the Brazilian National Team's Medical Department. No injuries were found, which brought some relief to CRF fans. Flamengo, however, opted to perform its own series of tests, reaching the same conclusion.

Even though no injury has been detected, Gerson is still being monitored. The club is likely to choose to rest him in the Brazilian Championship debut, this Saturday (29), against Internacional, at Maracanã. The final decision will depend on the player's recovery in the coming days. Another confirmed absence is Danilo, who suffered a muscle injury in his thigh. The player will miss the debuts in both the Brasileirão and the Libertadores, which further complicates Filipe Luís's planning for the start of the season.

With so many injuries in such a short space of time, Flamengo must reinforce its physical planning. The coaching staff is looking for solutions to avoid further losses and keep the squad competitive throughout the competitions. The priority now is to recover injured players as quickly as possible, without compromising their physical condition in the long term. With a busy schedule ahead, each athlete is essential for the squad's rotation.

In a press conference at Ninho do Urubu, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi spoke about his desire to be called up to the Argentina national team , the current world champion. Despite his dream, the goalkeeper made it clear that his priority remains Flamengo.

Rossi on his dream of joining the Argentine national team: "My job is for Flamengo"

"Obviously, I've always wanted to be called up. I think Brazilian football is very strong, not only in South America, but worldwide as well. In the last call-up, there were players from here. But I'm not thinking about that right now . I think that if I do my job well, that call-up could come," Rossi stated.

TOTAL FOCUS ON FLAMENGO

The Argentine stressed that he keeps his feet on the ground and that his main goal is to continue showing consistency for the Rubro-Negro , who have the best defense in the Brasileirão, conceding only 10 goals in 22 games. At Maracanã, the Mais Querido conceded only three goals.

"I'm in no rush, because my job is for Flamengo , day to day, game to game. My biggest focus is to maintain this streak so that the call-up can come. Of course I have that desire, but I don't treat it as a requirement . I'm Flamengo's goalkeeper, I'm responsible for Flamengo. If the call-up comes, I'll welcome it," he added.

INCOME AND TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Rossi has already won four titles. Last season, he was a key player in the undefeated Carioca Championship and also played in the Copa do Brasil victory. In 2025, he maintained his starting spot in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Estadual . In total, he has represented Flamengo in 125 official matches, establishing himself as a pillar of the team.
