The Flamengo is experiencing a season marked by injuries, which affected almost the entire squad. The only sector that has not recorded casualties so far is that of goalkeepers. While the rest of the team deals with a series of physical problems, the midfield is the most affected, accumulating 16 cases of injuries so far.

The attack, however, faces an even more delicate scenario . The absences of Everton Cebolinha and Pedro, two names important in the offensive sector, are particularly worrying, as both players are facing injuries that will sideline them for a long period, compromising the remainder of the season.


FLAMENGO HAS ALERT ON < /p>

This situation imposes considerable challenges on Flamengo, both in terms of tactical organization and planning. Frequent injuries not only affect the team's ability to maintain a constant formation, but also put pressure on the coaching staff and management to look for alternatives, whether within the squad or on the market, to compensate for absences.

The midfield of Flamengo is the sector that has suffered most from injuries, which is not a good sign for a team that depends heavily on this part of the field to control the game. With 16 players facing physical problems throughout the season, the coach needs to constantly adjust the formation, which directly impacts the team's performance on the field.

Injuries in midfield create instability in the sector responsible for game creation and transition. This affects both offensive performance, in the construction of plays, and defensive solidity, in protecting the defense. Forced player rotation prevents the team from creating a clear identity and consistency of play.

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.

No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.


The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.


Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .

Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.

Gerson, who had been Tite's captain, has been sidelined since the end of February due to a kidney infection, had to undergo surgery and does not have an exact return date. However, the player is evolving and the tendency is for him to start going to Ninho do Urubu to carry out specific recovery activities.

According to information from the 'Coluna do Fla' portal, Flamengo is working with the possibility of Gerson already starting to carry out activities separated at Ninho do Urubu this Wednesday (13). However, the technical committee and the Red and Black medical department work with caution on the player's situation so that no major problems occur and the midfielder does not 'skip steps' during his recovery.

Understand Gerson's situation

After experiencing abdominal pain, Gerson was diagnosed with hydronephrosis. The problem consists of the malfunctioning of the kidneys, which end up not emptying correctly, causing severe pain in the abdominal region.

The player, who was hospitalized for two days last week, was discharged on Tuesday (20), but to solve the problem once and for all, Flamengo opted to submit the player to surgery. This way, the recovery time will take the number 20 out of combat for a long time.

Recovery time

Although Gerson has shown an improvement in the last few days, Flamengo opted for resolving the situation with surgery. Although a simple and non-invasive operation, Gerson will be out of action for at least two months while he recovers from the process.


Gerson was hospitalized until last Tuesday (20), when Flamengo thrashed Boavista. After undergoing further examinations, it became clear that a surgical process was necessary to resolve the problem.


Although Flamengo has not released an exact date for Gerson's return, the tendency is for the player not to return to the end of the state. In order to fully recover and return to action, number 20 may be out of action for around two months.
