With a cruciate ligament injury in his knee confirmed, Pedro will have to undergo surgery and will be sidelined for at least nine months. Since returning to Rio de Janeiro last week, after being injured during the national team's training in Curitiba, the player already had a date set to undergo the surgical procedure.

According to journalist Luiza Sá, Pedro should have the surgery between Friday and Saturday, with Flamengo just waiting for confirmation of the date, to officially announce it. Also according to Luiza, the procedure will be in the same hospital where Viña and Cebolinha had the operation, both will no longer play in 2024.

In addition to the serious injury suffered this year, in 2018, when Pedro was still playing for Fluminense, he was diagnosed with a strain in his ligaments in his right knee, and when the injury was confirmed there, he had to undergo surgery. Coincidentally, just like in 2024, he was cut from Brazil's squad list.

Pedro underwent physiotherapy and returned to working with the ball, at Fluminense's CT, in March 2019, almost nine months after his surgery .

The second surgery was due to a meniscus injury. And P9 had to undergo arthroscopic surgery, which left him sidelined for 3 months. In the meantime, the center forward was left out of the Libertadores final against Palmeiras, in Montevideo.

Before facing Vasco, Flamengo will face Bahia, this Thursday- fair (12), at 9:45 pm, at Maracanã, in a match valid for the return of the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil. With a 1-0 lead achieved in the first game, Mais Querido only needs a draw to guarantee their place in the semi-finals.

This last Monday (9), Zico and Adriano Imperador met at the Zico Football Center for a friendly match with other athletes. The Mais Querido idols had a "review" alongside former player Zé Roberto and Diego Souza, Grêmio's midfielder.

After the friendly match, the quartet extended the day of celebrations at CFZ, which is located in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, a neighborhood in the west of Rio. Zico's team played a match against the team from the Sofascore platform, with a game full of Brazilian football idols, including Diego Ribas, Filipe Luís, Carlos Alberto, Léo Moura, among others .

Forward Carlinhos was also present at the event. Flamengo's number 22 couldn't hide the admiration he feels for the greatest idol in red and black history: Arthur Antunes Coimbra. The athlete was caught asking for an autograph and exchanging a few words with Galinho.

In the video, it is possible to see the moment when Walace, Carlinhos' son, receives a hug from Zico. Thus, the eternal red and black number 10 also autographs the little one's boots and talks to the Flamengo striker. The player went there to pick up his son who goes to school at the club.
