Flamengo is preparing to face Juventude, on Saturday (26), in a game valid for the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will even serve as a way for Filipe Luís to ‘rehearse’ the starting team that will take to the field in the Copa do Brasil final.



That's because , as GE recalled, of the three absences that Flamengo will have in the first game of the Copa do Brasil final, two will be absences in the Brasileirão. While Bruno Henrique will be suspended for his third yellow card in the Brazilian Championship, De La Cruz is injured and should be sidelined for up to a month.


In the Copa do Brasil, Bruno Henrique is not available in the first game, at Maracanã, as he was sent off in the semi-final against Corinthians. On the other hand, De La Cruz will continue in the recovery process and will not play against Juventude or Atlético-MG. Finally, the third confirmed absence for the first leg of the Copa do Brasil final is Erick Pulgar, who will be suspended. However, for the game against Juventude, this Saturday (26), the Chilean does not have any type of impediment and will play normally in Filipe Luís' starting team.


With the “coincidences” in the absences of the Brasileirão and the Copa do Brasil, Filipe Luís will be able to use the game against Juventude so that Bruno Henrique and De La Cruz's replacements can 'rehearse' their performance. The expectation is for who will occupy the places of the 27th and 18th shirts.

GAME AND STREAMING

Currently, the Flamengo is focused on the Brazilian Championship. That's because, this Saturday (26), Mais Querido faces Juventude, at Maracanã. The clash takes place from 4:30 pm (Brasília time), valid for the 31st round of the Brasileirão.

Psychic Reveals Letters


Psychic Luiz Filho, known for his channel Renascer das Cartas, shared his spiritual predictions for the clash between the Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro teams. According to him, the cards reveal a balanced outlook, but slightly favorable to the home team . " Atlético-MG came with the High Priestess card. This indicates a good understanding of the game and strategic preparation. The club will know how to capitalize on the result and turn it into an advantage," said the psychic.

For the Mais Querido side , the reading was less comfortable : " Flamengo also has a difficult card, which is the "Hanged Man" card, of resilience. They'll need to use their creative side. I see a lot of balance; Atlético-MG will have a good start. Flamengo may struggle, but they'll have a lethal outcome. However, I see more possibilities for Atlético-MG."

Atlético-MG and Flamengo face off this Wednesday (6) in a decisive duel for the round of 16 of the 2025 Copa do Brasil. The match takes place at 7 pm (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte , and will be broadcast live on Sportv and Premiere.


In the first leg, played at Maracanã, the Minas Gerais team won 1-0 and now has the advantage of a draw to secure qualification for the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, Rubro-Negro , coached by Filipe Luís, needs a simple one-goal victory to take the final to penalties. A win by two or more goals will advance directly to the next stage of the tournament.


ATLÉTICO-MG IN GOOD PHASE


Atlético is in good form. Cuca's team has won its last two matches. First, it beat Flamengo 1-0 in the first leg of the round of 16, despite playing away from home. Last weekend, in a Brazilian Championship match, the Minas Gerais team dominated Red Bull Bragantino and emerged with a 2-1 victory.

FLAMENGO HAS SHORTAGES


On the red-and-black side, coach Filipe Luís will have to deal with important absences. Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araújo are not on the roster due to workload constraints, a result of the season's backlog of matches. Flamengo 's mission will be to win with authority away from home to maintain its chance of winning another Copa do Brasil title. The club has won the title in 1990, 2006, 2013, 2022, and 2024.

Arsenal sets price for Gabriel Jesus, striker being approached by Flamengo

The Brazilian national team striker's name was speculated on Mais Querido, but transfer fees and salary make the deal unfeasible.

Given Flamengo's recent difficulties in signing a new number 9, a speculated name has resurfaced among fans: Gabriel Jesus . The Brazilian national team striker, currently at Arsenal in England, has reportedly been placed on the London club's transfer list for the next transfer window.


The asking price is around £30 million (approximately R$191 million at the current exchange rate) . The push for attacking reinforcements gained momentum after rejections from players like Lucas Beltrán and Mehdi Taremi, who opted to remain in European football.


ASTRONOMICAL MARKET VALUE AND WAGES


Despite being one of the most mentioned names by fans on social media and specialized forums, Gabriel Jesus' arrival in Brazilian football is considered extremely unlikely at this time. Arsenal's proposed fee is far above the financial reality of South American football, even for a club with significant investment power like Flamengo .

In addition to the high transfer fee required, the player's current salary—comparable to Premier League standards—would pose an even greater challenge. The English club, seeking to balance its finances and make room for reinforcements in other positions, sees the Brazilian striker as one of its main bargaining chips in the next window.


FLAMENGO REMAINS ON THE MARKET

Flamengo 's board continues to monitor the market for a center forward who fits the profile desired by Filipe Luís's coaching staff. After frustrations in negotiations with players who opted to remain on the Old Continent, the club is seeking viable alternatives that can strengthen the squad without compromising its financial planning.
