Flamengo announced that striker Luiz Araújo was diagnosed with an osteochondral injury in his right knee. This injury involves a fracture in the cartilage, which causes pain and limits the player's mobility. To treat the problem, Luiz Araújo will undergo arthroscopy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows visualization and treatment of injuries within the joint.
This type of injury is not uncommon in high-performance athletes, especially those who place great load on joints, like football players. Arthroscopy is often used in these cases, as it allows direct treatment of the affected area, with less risk of complications compared to more invasive surgeries.
FLAMENGO HAS A NEW PROBLEM
According to information from the specialized website Trivela, the recovery time for this type of injury is around six to eight weeks. This period includes both post-surgical healing and rehabilitation, which is essential for the player to be able to resume his activities on the field safely and without risk of a new injury.
Osteochondral injuries are characterized by damage in the cartilage and underlying bone, usually caused by repetitive impacts or a sudden twist that puts stress on the joint. In the case of Luiz Araújo, the injury occurred in the right knee, which is one of the most affected joints in football players due to constant physical demands, jumping and sudden changes in direction.
A cartilagehas the function of absorbing impacts and allowing smooth movement of the joints. When this cartilage is damaged, movement becomes painful, and lack of proper treatment can lead to more serious problems, such as osteoarthritis, a degenerative condition of the joints. Arthroscopy is a surgical technique used to diagnose and treat joint problems. The procedure is performed with the aid of an arthroscope, a thin instrument with a camera at the tip that allows the surgeon to see inside the joint without the need for large cuts.

Flamengo has been consolidating its youth academy strength with impressive achievements, including two consecutive U-20 World Cup titles. In one of these championships, Flamengo defeated Barcelona on penalties , reinforcing the quality of its young talent.
Ryan Roberto , a 17-year-old striker, is currently considered one of Flamengo's top prospects. With 21 goals in 39 matches, according to Globo Esporte, the youngster is attracting interest from European soccer giants such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Ajax.
Flamengo is protecting its talents, but knows that retaining Ryan long-term could be challenging given his potential. The youngster's refined technique, speed, and efficient finishing impress both at home and abroad.
The athlete holds 50% of the economic rights with Flamengo , and there is an option to purchase an additional 20%, valued at approximately R$1.5 million . Ryan arrived at Rubro-Negro in 2023, won the Brasil Soccer Cup U-15 and stood out in several tournaments, including the Adidas Cup at Ninho do Urubu.
In addition to his club achievements, Ryan Roberto was called up to the Brazilian youth national team in 2023. His release clause abroad is €50 million (R$316 million), reflecting the value Flamengo places on its jewel.
Mengão stands out in the Championship not only because it is at the top of the competition, but also because it has outstanding numbers in all phases of the game.
