FLAMENGO AND GABRIEL: A FIASCO ON THE EDGE
The exchange of images on Gabigol's social networks generated immediate repercussions among his followers and fans of Flamengo.

Even without absolute starting status, Everton Cebolinha continues to receive opportunities at Flamengo and has earned the support of SBT commentator Mano. During an appearance on the Arena SBT program, the journalist described the number 11 as a decisive and undervalued player .
Mano on Cebolinha: "an underrated player within Flamengo"
"I think Everton Cebolinha is an underrated player at Flamengo. Cebolinha is an extremely decisive player ," said Mano. This season, the striker has made 24 appearances, scoring three goals and providing two assists.
TRAJECTORY AT FLAMENGO
Signed in June 2022 after a stint at Benfica, Cebolinha struggled to find his footing at the club due to injuries . In 2024, he was in great form until he suffered a serious Achilles tendon injury, which sidelined him for months. Having recovered, he returned to the squad under Filipe Luís in 2025.
NEW OPPORTUNITIES?
Cebolinha isn't considered a regular starter in Flamengo 's squad, but he's been getting chances under coach Filipe Luís . With Gerson's departure opening up a spot in the starting lineup, the striker hopes to get more opportunities to play and recapture the above-average season he had in 2024.

Flamengo does specific work with De la Cruz for the sequel
Jorginho's arrival and pre-Club World Cup injury had relegated the Uruguayan to the bench, but the Chilean's absence opens a door

With Flamengo's early elimination from the Club World Cup, it gave them time to prepare Nicolás De la Cruz for the marathon of matches in the second half of the year. Erick Pulgar's injury, out for up to three months after fracturing his right foot , increases the burden on the Uruguayan , who still requires physical care.
Pulgar underwent surgery in Chile and will return to Rio de Janeiro next week to continue treatment at the club. De la Cruz , who recently recovered from a left knee sprain suffered in May , returned to the pitch in the round of 16 of the World Cup, coming on as a late substitute.
FOCUS ON PHYSICAL MANAGEMENT
Flamengo coach on De la Cruz: "The goal is to enhance the recovery processes"
Even after recovering, the midfielder is unlikely to be available for all the games in the sequence, which includes the Brasileirão, Copa do Brasil, and Libertadores. This is because he lives with chronic synovitis in his right knee , which requires daily monitoring of his training load. Sometimes, the Uruguayan performs activities separately from the group and maintains a strengthening routine at home with support from the club's physiotherapist.
“The objective is to enhance the recovery processes with preventive approaches, increasing strength and power levels ,” explained Flamengo 's physical trainer, Diogo Linhares, to the 'ge' portal, before the most recent injury.
ALTERNATIVES AND HISTORY
Without Pulgar, Filipe Luís's options are Allan and young Evertton Araújo. However, the coaching staff expects De la Cruz to take the lead , at least in the most important matches. The midfielder was having a good season before his most recent knee injury.
Signed in early 2024 for over R$100 million, the former River Plate player is still looking for a run at Flamengo . His longest run as a starter in 2025 was eight games — in 2024, he had ten in a row. His use is expected to be monitored on a game-by-game basis.
