O Flamengo faces problems for the match against São Paulo, scheduled for this Saturday (02). Two important players were not listed for the clash: De La Cruz and Everton Cebolinha. The absence of these athletes represents a significant challenge for the team. De La Cruz, a Uruguayan player, is out of the game due to pain in his right knee.


The athlete's situation worries the coaching staff, who chose not to risk his participation. Pain in his right knee prevented De La Cruz from training properly during the week, leading to the decision to spare him from the clash against São Paulo. Everton Cebolinha, another important absence, had pain in his right thigh. Like De La Cruz, the striker was unable to participate in activities with the rest of the squad during the week. The technical committee, aiming to preserve the player for future matches, decided not to list him for this Saturday's duel.


FLAMENGO TME IMPORTANT ABSENCES 


The absences of De La Cruz and Everton Cebolinha represent a challenge for the coach of Flamengo. Both players have been key players in the team, contributing significantly both offensively and defensively. The need to adjust the formation and strategy for the game against São Paulo will be crucial.

With the absences confirmed, the coach of Flamengo needs to find alternatives to make up the team. The expectation is that players on the bench will have the opportunity to show their value. The technical team must adjust the tactical formation to compensate for absences, seeking to maintain competitiveness and performance on the field.

Renan Lodi 's future has once again become a topic of discussion in Brazilian football following his tumultuous departure from Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal. The 27-year-old full-back unilaterally terminated his contract , claiming he had been barred from playing in the Saudi Arabian Championship. In response, the club announced it intends to take legal action against the player.


Lodi, a free agent, was quickly linked to Brazilian clubs, but Flamengo has no intention of entering the fray. The board believes the squad is already well-stocked at left-back and there's no need for reinforcements at this time.


Coach Filipe Luís currently has Ayrton Lucas as a solid starter and Matías Viña as an immediate alternative. Additionally, Alex Sandro is in the final stages of recovery and should expand the coach's options soon. The arrival of another full-back could create a surplus of players in Flamengo 's defense.


FINANCIAL ISSUE

Another factor that influenced the decision not to move forward with negotiations was the financial aspect. Renan Lodi has a history of high salaries since his time at Atlético de Madrid , Nottingham Forest, and Al-Hilal. Investing in a player with this profile is seen by the board as unnecessary in the club's current situation.


LODI OPENS UP ABOUT EXIT

Meanwhile, Renan Lodi publicly defends his decision to leave Al-Hilal. In a letter posted on social media, the full-back stated that he could not be prevented from practicing his profession and that he tried, unsuccessfully, to resolve the situation amicably with the Arab club.
