Flamengo is experiencing a delicate moment in relation to injuries to its main players, especially with the sequence of decisive games. This Monday, coach Tite returned to command of training at Ninho do Urubu after his absence from Sunday's game, when he was recovering from a cardiac arrhythmia suffered in La Paz. The team, which is coming off a hard-fought 2-1 victory about Bragantino, now focuses its attention on Wednesday's clash against Bahia, valid for the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. However, the absence of fundamental pieces poses significant challenges.
Among the good news of the day is Pedro's evolution. The number 9, Brazil's top scorer in 2024, began the transition to the pitch after recovering from an injury to the hamstring of his left thigh. The injury occurred during the 2-0 victory over Bolívar, on the 15th, when Pedro had to be substituted in the first half. Although his return to the field is a positive sign, the striker is still not in ideal condition to play in the next match and is out of the game against Bahia.
Gabigol, who also suffered a muscle injury in the same match against Bolívar, although in the right thigh, had a slower evolution. The striker appeared on the field, but limited himself to physiotherapy work, without participating in ball activities. His recovery is still at an early stage compared to Pedro's, which prevents his participation in Wednesday's clash. Just like Pedro, Gabigol will not be available to face Bahia.
Another important absence for Flamengo is Arrascaeta. The Uruguayan midfielder, who is one of the team's main playmakers, suffered an injury to the adductor in his left thigh and did not go to the field this Monday. Arrascaeta's absence is particularly felt, as he is a key player in the team's offensive organization. Without him, Tite will have to find alternatives to maintain creativity in midfield, especially in such a crucial knockout game.
In light of these absences, Flamengo will have to reinvent itself to face Bahia. The team will need to rely on the depth of the squad, which puts pressure on players who are not normally starters, but who will have the responsibility of maintaining the team's level of performance. Coach Tite, who is already beginning to shape the team for this new reality, will have to make strategic decisions to minimize the impacts of these casualties.

In a post on Instagram, the mayor informed that the city hall will be responsible for removing the megastructure on the gas meter site, different from what was reported. Furthermore, he guaranteed that Flamengo will have its new stadium, with the best conditions and security.
The news published by Ancelmo informs that Flamengo would have to pay R$100 million to remove a large gas structure present on land acquired by the club, which is owned by CEG and CEG-Rio, which are companies that are part of the gas concessionaire Naturgy.
According to the article, the companies were informed that Flamengo is the responsible for bearing the expenses, as provided for in one of the annexes to the land purchase and transfer contract. The clause, however, does not have a specified limit.
Paes stated that the values for the transfer of the structure are different from what was pointed out in the article by Ancelmo Gois. Furthermore, it exempted Flamengo from any responsibility, and that the city hall has been planning to remove it for years.
“They are making me defend @flamengo more than I would like: let it be clear that this is not the The cost of this transfer and when it happens will be the responsibility of the city of Rio, which knows that this structure cannot be in an area that is already receiving so many residential buildings. It's been in our plans for a long time! Flamengo will have its new stadium there in the gasometer with all the quality and safety that the region demands and deserves. Period!”, published the mayor.

This Monday (16), rumors emerged involving Bahia's interest in signing Gabigol, striker from Mais Querido. According to the channel Paparazzo Rubro-Negro, Tricolor de Aço would have entered the dispute for Gabigol, who has a contract with Flamengojust until December this year. In addition to Bahia, clubs such as Corinthians, Cruzeiro, Grêmio, Palmeiras and Santos would also be keeping an eye on the player.
Despite the speculation, the Bahia board was quick to deny any ongoing negotiations to count on the shirt 99 from Mengão. According to the club's leadership, there is no intention of repeating an operation similar to that carried out with Everton Ribeiro.
As soon as news of the supposed interest began to circulate, Bahia tried to clarify the situation. In a statement, the club's senior management stated that there are no negotiations to sign Gabigol for next season. The information of possible interest, therefore, was directly denied by Tricolor's directors.
Even so, the attacker remains one of the most targeted names in the transfer market for 2025, as he is in the final stretch of contract with Flamengoand you can now sign a pre-contract with any other team.
With Bahia's denial, Corinthians remains the main favorite to sign Gabigol from next year. The possibility of the red-black striker wearing the Timão shirt gains strength, especially after coach Tite appointed Gabigol as the third option for Mengão's attacking command, behind Pedro and Bruno Henrique.
