Defender Cleiton embarked for the United States to join the squad Flamengo In pre-season. The athlete, who played in the first rounds of the Campeonato Carioca, traveled shortly after the draw with Madureira. The CRF delegation is concentrated in Fort Lauderdale, where it is making final adjustments before the friendly against São Paulo, scheduled for next Sunday.
BASE PLAYERS ARE SUMMONED
In addition to Cleiton, two other young athletes were also called to reinforce the main team's activities. Pedro Fachinetti, defender, and Lucas Vieira, midfielder, stood out in the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior and are now participating in training in the United States. The decision to integrate these players into the pre-season highlights the coaching staff's confidence in the red and black base.
PREPARATION FOR THE FRIENDLY MATCH AGAINST SÃO PAULO
Cleiton will have at least two training sessions with squad before the clash against Tricolor Paulista, which will take place in Fort Lauderdale. This friendly is considered essential to assess the team's chemistry under Tite's command and test new players in the squad. With the move to the United States, Cleiton will not be available for the duel against Nova Iguaçu, in the Carioca Championship.
Mengão, who drew with Madureira in their last match, now heads to São Luís, where they will face next opponent. The absence of the defender opens up space for other athletes to gain minutes in the state.
Another highlight in the preparation was the absence of Léo Pereira in part of the activities carried out this week. The player was restricted to the gym, following a load control protocol to prevent injuries. There are expectations about his participation in the training scheduled for this Friday. Currently, the defensive sector has Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, João Victor and Carbone, in addition to the recently called up Cleiton and Pedro Fachinetti. The variety of options allows the coach to make adjustments and experiment with different tactical formations throughout the pre-season.

Flamengo has important reinforcements in the coming days. With De La Cruz, Danilo and Emerson Royal on coach Filipe Luís' list of players for the game against Internacional this Sunday (17), Mengão now has a practically empty medical department. But Erick Pulgar's situation still deserves attention .
A regular starter for Filipe Luís, the Chilean midfielder has been out of action since the FIFA Club World Cup. The good news is that his recovery is progressing well, and a return to training is expected. Pulgar is expected to return to action in the second half of September .
His return to action will depend on his fitness after a long layoff. Even if he doesn't return until October, the midfielder will still have a good run of matches , as the season doesn't end until December 21st.
Pulgar fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot in the 4-2 loss to Bayern Munich in Orlando, Flamengo 's final World Cup match. He underwent surgery on July 3 and, after two weeks of rest, began physical therapy at Ninho do Urubu.
The Chilean is no longer in pain and has been monitoring his progress through imaging tests. Between the 10th and 12th week after surgery, he will undergo a CT scan to assess fracture healing and then be cleared to safely return to training . After that, he will undergo further steps: running on the field, ball work, release from physical therapy, and finally, reintegration into the squad.
Discussions about a new contract between the number 10 and Mengão came to light at the beginning of the year, but the idea was left aside by the club.
