Flamengo is going through a period of uncertainty amid the challenges of the season, mainly due to a series of injuries that have affected the team's performance in national and international competitions. The absence of key players, combined with the exhaustive schedule of matches, has generated growing concern within the club, especially with the approach of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores.

One of the main concerns of the coaching staff is the midfielder Uruguayan Giorgian De Arrascaeta, who has been experiencing pain in his adductor. The player, considered one of the stars of the red and black squad, will undergo tests this Tuesday to determine the severity of the injury. If the diagnosis is unfavorable, Flamengo could lose another crucial piece at a decisive moment of the season.




OTHER PLAYERS ALSO FACE PHYSICAL PROBLEMSAnother important athlete, Luiz Araújo, was rested from the most recent match due to muscle fatigue. The striker, frequently used by coach Tite, carried out specific recovery work, as did midfielder Nicolás De La Cruz, who is also dealing with physical problems. Luiz Araújo even participated in a light activity on the field, which indicates a possible faster recovery.


After the 4-1 defeat, De La Cruz expressed his regret to coach Tite for not being able to play in the departure, recognizing your physical limitations. The atmosphere of frustration in the locker room was noticeable, but Tite preferred to adopt a leadership stance, being the only one to speak to the group. The coach emphasized the importance of rest and recovery for the athletes, with an eye on the crucial clash against Bolívar, in La Paz, in the Libertadores.

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.
