In the climate of expectation that precedes the decisive match against Millonarios, Flamengo has not yet confirmed the presence of striker Bruno Henrique in the game. Even with participation in the last training sessions, the number 27 lineup depends on his performance in the final activity before the clash.


According to Coluna do Fla, the last training sessions at Ninho do Urubu were attended by Bruno Henrique, who comes recovering from an injury. However, Flamengo's medical department and coaching staff are taking a cautious approach to avoid a relapse. The decision to include him in the list of related players will be taken after training tomorrow, when it will be possible to better assess the player's physical condition.


The prudence adopted by Flamengo has a clear reason : ensuring that Bruno Henrique is fully fit for the crucial stages of the season. The rush to return can compromise the player's physical integrity and, consequently, affect the team's performance in decisive moments. Therefore, the technical committee is willing to postpone Bruno Henrique's return for the derby against Vasco, which will take place at the weekend.


FLAMENGO HAS A CONTROL WITH BRUNO HENRIQUE 

Bruno Henrique is a key player in the Flamengo, known for his speed, skill and decision-making capacity in important games. His absence from the field has been felt by the team, which seeks to maintain regularity and achieve the objectives set for the season. The fans are also eagerly awaiting the return of the striker, one of the club's recent idols.


In addition to Bruno Henrique, Flamengo is dealing with other challenges in preparation for the match against Millonarios. The team needs to win to guarantee classification in the competition, and the presence of its starting striker could be an important difference. However, the priority is the player's health, and the final decision will be made based on strict medical and physical criteria.

FLAMENGO COMES FROM A DRAW IN THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP


Flamengo has not played since a 1-1 draw against Grêmio on August 31st, in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão . The calendar, which had been intense since before the Club World Cup , was softened by the FIFA World Cup break, between September 1st and 10th.

This break gave the squad a breather, having faced a marathon of recent commitments. The break was crucial for physical recovery and tactical adjustments, as well as allowing injured players to regain better conditions before the September season.


TECHNICAL COMMITTEE PLANS RESUMPTION

Even with the Copa do Brasil elimination to Atlético-MG, which initially seemed to open up more space in the calendar, the CBF made adjustments that kept the schedule tight . The coaching staff is taking advantage of the FIFA International Closure period to strengthen preparations for the decisive matches in the Copa Libertadores da América, as well as the fight for top spot in the Brasileirão.

Gerson's departure to Zenit St. Petersburg in the last transfer window changed the course of his recent career. The midfielder, a fixture on the Brazilian national team, has not been mentioned by Carlo Ancelotti since the transfer . The deal brought in €25 million (approximately R$160 million at the time) for the Mais Querido's coffers, a sum paid upfront by the Russian club.


Luiz Henrique, Gerson 's teammate at Zenit, revealed that he maintains close contact with the former Mengão player and highlighted that both have sought to maintain focus and physical fitness for a future opportunity with the national team.


"We talk daily. Gerson and I told each other to stay 100%, because Carlo Ancelotti has already said he's monitoring all the players. It doesn't matter if the athlete is in Russia or England," said Luiz Henrique.


GERSON ON THE RADAR?

The striker also emphasized that the Brazilian national team coach has been repeating that everyone is being watched: " Just because we're in Russia doesn't mean we're no longer being seen. We're maintaining our dedication, because the opportunity can always come, " he added.


CHALLENGE IN EUROPE

Despite the multi-million dollar transfer, Gerson has yet to replicate the prominence he enjoyed at Flamengo at Zenit. In Brazil, he established himself as a starter and an important player for the national team under Carlo Ancelotti. However, his adaptation to Russian football has been more difficult, which may have contributed to his absence from recent call-ups.

The FIFA World Cup break brought a rare benefit to Flamengo's squad: free time to train and refine details on and off the field. Emerson Royal emphasized that the break was crucial for physical recovery and also for adjusting the team's tactical and mental aspects. The right-back emphasized that, after an intense marathon of matches, the squad was able to breathe and focus on areas that needed attention.


" This week was very important. The routine was tough, with back-to-back matches. It was good for us to take a breather and work on mistakes made during the competitions. Now it's time to come back strong to maintain our lead ," Royal said in an interview with Flamengo TV.


100% PHYSICAL CONDITION


Emerson Royal is expected to start against Juventude due to Varela's injury. The defender explained that he now feels fully recovered from the ankle injury he suffered in the first leg against Internacional in the Copa Libertadores.

He sat out one match, was benched twice, and came on in the final minutes against Grêmio. However, the athlete admitted that he wasn't yet in optimal condition during that period.


" I was on the bench, but I wasn't 100% ready to play. It was tough, the pain was intense and quite uncomfortable. But now I'm fine and ready. If Filipe needs me, I'll be able to play a great game ," the full-back added.

NEXT APPOINTMENT

With 47 points, Flamengo is in sole possession of the Brazilian Championship lead. The advantage over Cruzeiro, in second place, is three points. Filipe Luís's team faces Juventude, which occupies 18th place , this Sunday (14), at 4 pm, at the Alfredo Jaconi stadium.
