Everton Cebolinha, one of the main signings of Flamengo in the last years, faces an important transition moment in his recovery. After undergoing an intense physiotherapy process, the athlete is moving towards the final phase of his rehabilitation, according to physiotherapist Márcio Puglia. This article covers all the details of the player's situation, prospects for the 2024 season, and the impact of his absence from the team.
Everton Cebolinha arrived at Flamengo in 2022 as one of the great promises to reinforce the red-black attack. Coming from European football, where he played for Benfica, the player brought international experience and differentiated offensive skills. Despite moments of brilliance, Cebolinha faced difficulties with injuries that impacted his continuity on the field. His absence raised questions about physical preparation and generated debates about howFlamengo can improve the monitoring of its athletes.
FLAMENGO WAITS FOR THE ATTACKER TO RETURN
In a recent interview, Flamengo's physiotherapist, Márcio Puglia, explained Cebolinha's progress:
"We already have him on the field, so he is already finishing the transition phase with physiotherapy and starting the transition with physical preparation, probably over the next few weeks. pre-season in a good condition to be theoretically part of the squad. Maybe with some adjustments or others that are necessary for those returning from injury."
The transition is a delicate phase that requires extra care to avoid relapses. Puglia emphasized that gradual integration into physical training is essential to ensure that Cebolinha recovers his performance without risk of worsening. With Cebolinha off the field, Flamengo had to explore options like Bruno Henrique, Gabigol and Arrascaeta, adjusting tactics to compensate for the player's absence.
CEBOLINHA PLANNING
Planning includes specific training, psychological monitoring and constant assessments to ensure that the athlete be ready to compete at a high level. Recovering fully from an injury is not just physical, but also mental. The player's confidence in his own ability will play a crucial role in his recovery.

Signed with star status, Gabigol is still seeking regular starting positions at Cruzeiro. Unlike what he became accustomed to during his years as a star player at Flamengo, the striker is currently in a transitional phase. Even though he's not a regular in the starting eleven, he's been touted as an important player in Leonardo Jardim's project.
Pedro Junio, vice president of the Minas Gerais club, emphasized in an interview with the program Donos da Bola that the number 9 did not disappoint. According to the director, the striker has fulfilled everything agreed upon at the time of his signing, both on the field and in marketing. " He delivers everything we agreed on, both in the sporting and commercial and marketing aspects . Gabriel was a package deal we signed, and he delivers," he noted.
BOARD DEFENDS GABIGOL'S PARTICIPATION
Since arriving at Toca da Raposa, Gabigol has started 11 matches, initially under Fernando Diniz and later under Leonardo Jardim. Following the 1-1 draw with São Paulo on April 13th, in the third round of the Brasileirão , the striker has lost his place in the starting lineup. Even so, management emphasizes that there is no dissatisfaction or bad blood behind the scenes.
" Cruzeiro's advantage is that everyone understands that Cruzeiro is the top priority. Regardless of who's playing or not," explained Pedro Junio, highlighting the positive internal atmosphere at the club and the players' maturity in accepting coaching decisions.
GABIGOL REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO CRUZEIRO
Despite recurring speculation that he's unhappy about not being a regular starter, Gabigol has publicly expressed his composure about this new phase. After the 2-0 victory over Vila Nova on May 1st in the Copa do Brasil , the striker addressed the issue directly.
" I'm very calm about it. I know the pressure there is , and there are a lot of people who say things without realizing it. I try to work hard, show my football skills on the field," he said. On that occasion, the striker also highlighted the welcome he received at the club and reinforced his desire to continue contributing.
