Bruno Henrique started the 2-1 victory over Bahia last Sunday (11) and was replaced in the 34th minute of the second half by Everton Cebolinha. The change raised a red flag due to the way the striker left the field. According to an investigation carried out by Coluna do Fla, the striker did not feel any injury . The substitution was due to natural physical fatigue, without any type of muscular complaint or sign of injury.
In the reappearance this Monday (12), Bruno Henrique participated normally in the activities at Ninho do Urubu. The work was regenerative for the starters who played for more than 45 minutes against Bahia, and the number 27 was integrated into the group, without restrictions. His presence in the training is seen as a positive sign for him to be a starter in the duel against LDU, in the fourth round of the group stage of the Libertadores.
If Bruno Henrique's situation has reassured the coaching staff, the same cannot be said of Erick Pulgar and Allan . The defensive midfield duo is out of Thursday's game. Both suffered minor muscle injuries in their right thighs and will not be available for the match. The information was confirmed after tests carried out on Monday.
The tendency is that both will be re-evaluated throughout the week, but they have already been ruled out for the Libertadores. The medical department has not yet given an exact return date. The coaching staff will have two more training sessions before the match against LDU. The training sessions will take place on Tuesday (13) and Wednesday (14), both in the morning, at Ninho do Urubu.
The expectation is that Filipe Luís will use these training sessions to put together the ideal team without Pulgar and Allan. The replacements should be between Léo Ortiz, who has already played as a defensive midfielder, and the young Evertton Araújo. Bruno Henrique, on the other hand, is in front to start playing again, forming the attacking trio alongside Pedro and Luiz Araújo.

Grêmio will have to deal with new problems for the match against Flamengo , this Sunday (30), at Maracanã, for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The list of related players released by the Rio Grande do Sul club confirmed important losses for coach Mano Menezes.
The team's starting striker, Alysson , suffered a left ankle sprain during training and is out for the match . He joins Amuzu, who is still undergoing treatment for muscle discomfort. With the number 47 absent, Mano Menezes is considering two options for the attack. The most natural choice would be to bring in Argentine Pavon. Another alternative is to use Carlos Vinicius, which would lead to a tactical change, with Braithwaite dropping back to help create plays.
Despite the absences, Tricolor could have some new players. Recently signed Peruvian midfielder Erick Noriega was named in the squad for the first time and could make his debut . He participated in training throughout the week and is expected to earn minutes against Flamengo .
Another reinforcement, midfielder Arthur , already registered, was not included in the delegation, as planned by the coaching staff. To make up for the absence of important names, Mano Menezes also called up youngsters Luis Eduardo, Gabriel Mec, and Jardiel , who traveled to Rio de Janeiro.
Mano Menezes' Grêmio team to face Flamengo is: Tiago Volpi; Marcos Rocha, Wagner Leonardo, Kannemann and Marlon; Dodi, Cuéllar and Edenilson; Pavon (Carlos Vinicius), Cristian Olivera and Braithwaite.

Midfielder Lucas Paquetá, who came through the ranks at Flamengo, is close to leaving West Ham to join Aston Villa . The deal between the Premier League clubs could generate £47 million (approximately R$345 million) . According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the deal includes a loan with an obligation to buy, as well as additional variables.
The 28-year-old has reportedly already accepted the terms proposed by the Birmingham club. If the transfer is completed, the "Mais Querido" will receive a share of the proceeds, thanks to FIFA's Solidarity Mechanism .
Paquetá 's arrival would mark a new chapter in the midfielder's Premier League career. He would be Aston Villa's fourth signing of this transfer window . The club has already confirmed striker Evann Guessand, defender Yasin Özcan, and goalkeeper Marco Bizot.
Paquetá arrived at West Ham in 2022, signing from Lyon for €43 million. Since then, he has made 123 appearances, scoring 20 goals and providing 14 assists . His biggest highlight was winning the 2023 UEFA Conference League, the Hammers' first continental title.
Having nurtured the player in its youth academy, Flamengo is entitled to approximately 4% of the total value of each international transfer involving Paquetá. Based on the £47 million proposal, the Rio de Janeiro club stands to receive approximately £1.88 million (R$13.8 million) at the current exchange rate. Since selling the midfielder to Milan in 2018, Flamengo has already accumulated significant amounts from transfers involving the player.
There were 24.5 million euros (R$ 104 million at the time) in the initial negotiation, another 800 thousand euros (around R$ 5 million) in the move to Lyon, and another R$ 12 million when he transferred to West Ham in 2022. With the possible move to Aston Villa, Paquetá could earn Flamengo, in total, approximately R$ 135 million since leaving the club.
