O Flameng The team faces a complicated scenario on the eve of a decisive moment in the season. After being thrashed by Botafogo at the Nilton Santos Stadium, Rubro-Negro enters the final phase of the Libertadores under intense pressure and with the squad significantly missing. The recent negative results add to a growing list of injuries, further compromising the team's chances of overcoming the challenges that lie ahead.

In the last three games, Flamengo lost key players to injuries, directly affecting their competitive capacity of the team. Everton Cebolinha and Viña, for example, were diagnosed with serious injuries and are out for the remainder of the season. The absence of these players directly impacts the coach's tactical options, who was already dealing with a squad worn out by the sequence of games.

ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER

In addition to these casualties, the Flamengo suffers from the unavailability of key players such as Pedro, Gabigol and Arrascaeta. These players, who make up the team's creative and offensive core, are not expected to return to the pitch before mid-September. The lack of these athletes not only weakens the attack, but also reduces the variety of options on the bench, limiting the alternatives for tactical changes during games.

The situation got worse this Wednesday, when the club announced yet another significant injury to the cast. Wesley, who had been one of the options for the coach, suffered an injury to the anterior muscle of his right thigh. The expected return date has not been announced, but considering the club's recent history of muscle injuries, it is possible that Wesley will also be out for an extended period.

Flamengo's situation is not the best. This Monday (16), the club released the news about Luiz Araújo's injury. During the game against Vasco, the athlete suffered a blow to his right knee and will need to undergo arthroscopy. With this, newcomer Gonzalo Plata becomes a fundamental piece for coach Tite.

This is because, with Pedro's injury, Bruno Henrique has been used as Mengão's center forward. In addition to him, Cebolinha will no longer play for Flamengo in 2024, and Luiz Araújo is expected to be sidelined for one to two months. To top it off, Michael is also absent from Rubro-Negro and should only return to the field in mid-October.


In this way, Gonzalo Plata is the only player on the professional squad with speed as his main characteristic, as Bruno Henrique has been used as a center forward by coach Tite. For the next matches, Mais Querido may turn to youth players who perform this role, such as the Nigerian Shola.


Gonzalo Plata should start against Peñarol

With Luiz Araújo's injury, Gonzalo Plata's starting role in the match against Peñarol (URU), this Thursday (19), is practically guaranteed. For the first game of the Libertadores quarter-finals, Flamengo also signed up Alex Sandro and Carlos Alcaraz, who could make their debut in the competition. It is worth remembering that Michael, with a muscle injury in his right thigh, will only be able to play if Mengo advances to the semi-finals. Flamengo x Peñarol

With Gonzalo Plata available, Flamengo and Peñarol face each other this Thursday (19), at Maracanã, at 7pm (Brasília time), in the first game of the Libertadores quarter-finals. The return duel is scheduled for September 26th, at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium, in Montevideo.
