Injuries to Flamengo players in 2023 appear to be yet another topic of concern in the club's extensive list of problems. Filipe Luís, Léo Pereira, David Luiz, Rodrigo Caio, Gabigol, Bruno Henrique and Pedro were away from Mais Querido games for a long 450 days. There are, in total, 64 weeks impacted by physical problems.
According to the survey carried out by the MRN portal, this could be one of the reasons for Flamengo's bad season, as the squad spent the equivalent of one year and two months ago without some of its most important athletes for clashes during the season.
The athlete who was left out for the longest time was Bruno Henrique, due to his multiligament knee injury, still in 2022. In total, the shirt 27 da Gávea was unable to play for around 112 days and was unable to help the club for a long time.
Another athlete who spent a longer time without playing and being able to help Rubro Negro was Arrascaeta. The Uruguayan star was absent from Mais Querido for around 91 days. During these three months, the midfielder was out due to muscle injuries. Same problem as Filipe Luís and Léo Pereira, who suffered from physical problems and were out for 107 days.
Gerson was absent from Rubro Negro due to injury for just 16 days, still in May, due to pain in his left adductor. Pedro was also unavailable for just two weeks. Rodrigo Caio, as incredible as it may seem, was in DM for only 5 days, as he had a virus in July. Also in the clash against Aucas, in the Libertadores, in which he was not included due to knee inflammation. However, he was available for the rest of the year.
Last Wednesday - ugly (8), Márcio Tannure participated in Tite's press conference and explained the physical problems of David Luiz and Gabigol. The defender is the only one mentioned who is injured at the moment. It's worth remembering that he had a sprained ankle during the new coach's debut. Therefore, he was absent from Flamengo due to injury in 74 days.
Gabigol, on the other hand, has enthesopathy, an injury that overloads the adductors. Consequently, the number 10 will undergo a procedure, without surgery, at the end of the year. This year, the attacker was out for 29 days because of injuries. The player's most recent physical problem was muscle discomfort, which took him out of the match against Fortaleza on November 5th.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.
