A starter on Fluminense's side, Marcelo was injured after 12 minutes in the Recopa final and was doubtful to face Flamengo, on Sunday, at Maracanã. The athlete felt discomfort in his thigh and was replaced by Diogo Barbosa. Flu opened the Recopa decision against LDU, in Ecuador, and will play the return match next Thursday.
According to Espião Estatístico, from GE, this is the twenty-ninth time that Marcelo has left for the entry of another left-back, since arriving at Fluminense. Five of these opportunities were due to physical problems. In the match between Mengão and Flu, in the round of 16 of the 2023 Copa do Brasil, Marcelo also asked to leave, in the first half. Flamengo ended up qualifying.
Possibly without Marcelo against Flamengo this Sunday (25th), at 4pm, Fernando Diniz could start Guga, Alexander or Diogo Barbosa himself. It all depends on whether the experienced full-back will be available to face LDU the other week. If he remains out, the third reserve in the sector must be selected against Rubro-Negro.
Third place in 2023, Flamengo wants to win the Guanabara Cup to start the season on the right foot, different from last year . For this to happen, they need to beat Flu at the weekend and then, they can draw with Madureira to be champion. The first placed team overall (GB Cup champion) faces fourth in the State semi-final.
SEARCH FOR THE TITLE
Flamengo still plays twice in the Guanabara Cup, a single round of the Championship Carioca 2024. Rubro-Negro faces Fluminense this Sunday (25), at Maracanã, in the 10th round. Then, in round 11, Flamengo faces Madureira in a game initially scheduled for Saturday, March 2nd.
Leader with 21 points and six wins, Flamengo is ahead of Fluminense on goal difference . Rubro-Negro conceded just one goal in nine rounds, but scored 18 times. Fluminense, on the other hand, has a positive goal difference of 10. Therefore, a series of scenarios can be imagined for Fla to be champion.
If there is a draw in Fla x Flu and the two rivals win in the last round , Flamengo will be champions unless Flu takes the seven goals advantage. If Fla beats Flu, but loses in the last round and Flu wins in the last round. In this case, Fla will be champion if Tricolor doesn't clear the goal difference.
If Flu beats Fla and wins in the last round, they will be champions. If Fla wins both games, they will be champions. If Fla beats Fluminense, but draws with Madureira, they will be champions. If Flu beats Fla, but draws with Botafogo, they will be champions.

Flamengo recently rejected inquiries from three European clubs for defender Léo Pereira . According to the ge portal, Valencia, Sevilla, and Porto have expressed interest in the player , seeking information on the conditions for a potential deal.
Despite contact from representatives, the club's board made it clear that it has no intention of negotiating the player during this window . However, communication between the parties will remain open for future discussions.
Currently, the only way for Léo Pereira to leave the Rio de Janeiro club would be to pay the full release clause, set at 60 million euros (approximately R$380 million). A similar situation occurs with Léo Ortiz , who has also been targeted by European clubs.
Signed in 2020 to replace Pablo Marí, the defender arrived after the Spaniard's departure to Arsenal . At the time, Rubro-Negro paid around €7 million (approximately R$32 million) to Athletico-PR.
Since wearing the red-and-black jersey, Léo Pereira has made 251 appearances, scored 15 goals, and provided five assists. The defender has won a Copa Libertadores, a Campeonato Brasileiro , two Copa do Brasil titles, a Recopa Sudamericana, a Supercopa Rei, and four state titles.
Spanish defender, champion of the Libertadores and Brasileirão in 2019, has attracted interest from the Minas Gerais team, but is currently enjoying a good run of form in Italian football.

Pablo Marí, one of the key players in Flamengo's Libertadores and Brasileirão triumphs in 2019, may be in Atlético-MG's sights. According to Italian journalist Nicolò Schira, a transfer market specialist, the Minas Gerais club has expressed interest in signing the Spanish defender , currently a starter for Fiorentina.
"Two foreign clubs have shown interest in defender Pablo Marí ," Schira revealed on social media. " Atlético Mineiro is interested in defender Pablo Marí ," the reporter added.
After excelling at Flamengo , Pablo Marí was sold to Arsenal in England in 2020 for 14 million euros. The defender also spent time on loan at Udinese and Monza , before being acquired permanently by the Italian club in 2023.
Thanks to the maintenance of 40% of the economic rights at the time of the transfer, Flamengo made a profit of around R$14.6 million from the negotiation and still has to receive a portion of 680 thousand euros (approximately R$4.35 million), an amount that should be paid soon.
In early 2025 , Pablo Marí transferred to Fiorentina, responding to a request from coach Raffaele Palladino , who had previously worked with him at Monza. With a contract until June 2026, the defender is a key player in the Italian club's defense, making an immediate release difficult.
