Several Uruguayan newspapers covered the tie between Flamengo and Vasco this Sunday (15). Among the main vehicles, “El País” and “Montevidéu Portal” highlighted that Luiz Araújo left the classic with a possible knee injury and could be absent for Rubro-Negro in the first game of the Libertadores quarter-finals against Peñarol, next Thursday (19).
Luiz Araújo played just 18 minutes in the classic. The attacker felt his knee after a challenge with a Vasco defender and even tried to continue on the field, but ended up being replaced by Arrascaeta. At half-time, Flamengo issued a statement informing that the player will be re-evaluated by the medical department at Ninho do Urubu. The squad will be presented again this Monday afternoon (16).
Uruguayan newspapers consider the possible absence of Luiz Araújo a big problem for Mengão. The athlete is a starter in Tite's team, with the most matches for Flamengo this season (50) and leader in assists (10).
The newspaper 'El País' classified the player as a key player for the team: “The injury to Luiz Araújo, one of the most important players in Mengão's squad, expands the list of injured players just a few days before the clash against Peñarol in the Copa Libertadores.”
The 'Montevideo Portal' followed the same line, highlighting the importance of the striker: “In addition to the result, another bad news for Peñarol's next rival in the Copa Libertadores it was the departure of Luiz Araújo. The fast right-winger, starter for Flamengo, felt pain in his right knee after a blow.”
Currently, Flamengo's medical department has five injured players: De La Cruz, Michael, Cebolinha, Viña and Pedro, with the trio formed by Cebolinha, Viña and Pedro only expected to return in 2025.
Expectations for De La Cruz in the game against PeñarolWhile awaiting Luiz Araújo's diagnosis, coach Tite revealed, after the draw against Vasco, that he hopes to count on De La Cruz for the duel against Peñarol . According to the coach, the Uruguayan's presence could improve the effectiveness of the team, which has shown good performance in recent matches.
“In training, when he (De la Cruz) was leaving, I asked 'is there enough for 20? minutes?'. He smiled, because he couldn't. The physical department definitely said they were not in a position to do so. Not even him feeling well. Especially because you have to talk to the athlete, because then there is the charge. Hopefully, and I hope that he can be there on Thursday to reproduce today's performance, with greater effectiveness”, said Tite in the post-game press conference between Flamengo x Vasco.

Benfica is preparing to present an official proposal for Flamengo right-back Wesley. The offer, according to sources, should be around 13 million euros, which is equivalent to approximately R$79.5 million. This movement occurs amid discussions involving the possible transfer of Wesley, who was previously almost traded to Atalanta, from Italy, for 20 million euros.
Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel, directors of Flamengo, are currently in Portugal, the which can facilitate the progress of negotiations. The presence of representatives of the red-black club in Europe indicates that Flamengo is open to listening to proposals and, possibly, closing an agreement that is advantageous to both parties.
Wesley, who has stood out as one of the main promises of Flamengo, aroused the interest of several European clubs due to its consistent performance. The young right-back has been a key player in Flamengo's tactical scheme, which justifies the high market value attributed to him.
However, Benfica's proposal, although significant, is lower than the value that Atalanta was willing to pay. This could be an important negotiating point, as Flamengo will certainly evaluate whether it is advantageous to accept a lower offer or wait for a proposal that meets the club's financial expectations.
