Flamengo announced this Wednesday that right-back Wesley is out of tomorrow's clash against Bolívar, valid for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. The player's absence was confirmed after medical examinations detected a muscle injury to his thigh.

Wesley's injury represents a significant loss for the Flamengo coach, who had been counting on the full-back as an important player in the defense. Wesley, who has stood out in several matches, will have to go through a period of recovery, which could influence the options available for the team's next commitments.


The medical department of Flamengo The recovery time required for the player has not yet been announced, but Wesley is expected to remain in intensive treatment to return to the pitch as soon as possible. This injury, however, puts the athlete out of one of the most important games of the season so far, at a crucial moment for the club in its quest to advance in the Libertadores.


 FLAMENGO HAS ANOTHER LOSER < /b>

The technical committee will now need to find a quick solution to replace Wesley on the right flank. Options include moving another player from the position or promoting a tactical change that allows the team to maintain defensive strength without compromising the game plan. Flamengo has some alternatives in the squad, but the loss of Wesley adds an extra layer of challenge for the coach.


The match against Bolívar was already seen as a complicated duel, and Wesley's absence could increase the difficulty even further. The Bolivian team, known for its fierce playing style, must exploit any of Flamengo's vulnerabilities, especially with the departure of a starting player. Red and black fans eagerly await the team's performance in this adverse scenario, knowing that every detail can be decisive in a knockout stage like the Libertadores. The pressure on the squad is great, but Flamengo has demonstrated on other occasions its ability to overcome challenges even in difficult situations.

Tite, current coach of Flamengo, was direct when commenting on the tight calendar of Brazilian football and the idea of ​​sparing players amid the intense sequence of games. In a recent interview, he spared no criticism of the current competition model in the country and made it clear that, contrary to what many suggest, he has no intention of arbitrarily preserving players in decisive moments.

Tite's main criticism revolves around the excess of games throughout the season. The Brazilian calendar is historically tight, with competitions such as the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil, the Libertadores, and, in years of the World Cup or Copa América, there is still the weight of international team tournaments. This scenario means that clubs, especially the big ones, have to deal with an exorbitant number of matches in a short space of time, which increases the wear and tear on players and, consequently, the risk of injuries.


AN EXCUSE FOR THE "INJURIES"

However, despite this situation, the coach made it clear that it is not in his plans to adopt a strategy of rotating players indiscriminately. "No one spares", said Tite, in response to suggestions that Flamengocould rest its main athletes in some games. He highlighted that sparing athletes without a clear justification, just with the intention of preserving the squad, would be a risky attitude, especially considering the pressure for immediate results in a club of Flamengo's magnitude.

Tite was also emphatic when explaining that, when making decisions about the lineup, he takes into account several factors, including the physical condition of the athletes, the importance of the match and the team's long-term planning. "Am I going to save my job? Put my job at risk?", joked the coach, highlighting that, in a club with pressure and expectations like Flamengo, a bad result can be costly, including a coach's position.

The Brazilian football calendar is one of the most intense in the world. While in many European countries clubs play, on average, between 45 and 50 matches per season, in Brazil this number easily exceeds 70, considering all competitions. Furthermore, long trips between states, climate variations and the difference in the quality of lawns contribute to the wear and tear of athletes.
