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.

Flamengo, one of the most traditional clubs and victorious in Brazilian football, has encountered difficulties in the second round of the 2023 Brazilian Championship. Occupying 13th place in the return table, the Rio team presents a performance far from what was expected, both by its fans and the board.
< So far, Flamengo has played seven matches in the second round of the Brasileirão and the results have not been favorable. With more defeats than wins, Rubro-Negro accumulates a total of eight points out of 21 possible. This means that, out of 100% success, the team only managed 38%, which demonstrates an irregular performance, especially for a club that usually competes for titles in the competitions it participates in. FLAMENGO HAS POSITION DECREEDIn the seven games played on the return, Flamengowon just two wins, as well as two draws and three defeats. This negative balance takes the team away from the fight for the title and also puts at risk a direct place in the next edition of the Copa Libertadores, the team's fundamental objective this season.
Flamengo's drop in performance in the second round is visible when compared to the performance presented in the first half of the championship. In the first round, Flamengo was at the top of the table and managed to maintain a regularity that allowed the team to dream of the title. However, the team has been facing tactical and physical problems which, combined with defensive failures and lack of effectiveness in attack, result in a negative sequence of results.
