Even during the holiday period, Pedro, striker of Flamengo, is committed to its recovery in Ninho do Urubu. The player suffered an injury to the cruciate ligament in his left knee that interrupted his 2024 season, but he is already intensifying his work to return stronger in 2025. This Tuesday, the number 9 shared on social media a record arriving at the center training.
The Flamengo kept the training center open until Friday for athletes who are recovering, and Pedro has been making the most of every moment. In addition to activities at the club, the striker follows a complementary program at home, relying on an advanced structure and private physiotherapists since 2021.
PEDRO'S EVOLUTION AT FLAMENGO p>
Internally, the recovery of Pedro is seen as promising. Although the initial forecast was six to eight months, there is optimism with a possible anticipation of the return to the pitch. The player already performs weight-bearing exercises at the gym, which signals significant progress. The injury occurred on September 4, while Pedro was with the Brazilian team.
INJURY AND TREATMENT
The attacker's recovery is divided between three daily periods of physiotherapy at home and one at Ninho do Urubu. Pedro also uses modern equipment in his home, speeding up the recovery process with the support of specialists. During a non-contact play, he tore the cruciate ligament in his knee. Surgery was performed shortly after diagnosis, and treatment began in the first week of October, focusing on gradual return.
Before the injury, Pedro had a brilliant season. He scored 30 goals in 2024, as well as registering eight assists, totaling 38 direct appearances in 43 matches. The player also shone in the pre-season, with two goals in friendlies in the United States. Without playing since September 1st, when he scored against Corinthians at the Neo Química Arena, Pedro lost the Brazilian football top scorer of 2024 in the last round of the Brasileirão. Yuri Alberto, from Corinthians, surpassed the striker by reaching 31 goals.
With a million-dollar offer, the betting house tries to occupy Pixbet's space on the red-black shirt and the club needs to notify its current master sponsorship partner.

Flamengo has received a high-value offer from Superbet to fill the master sponsorship slot currently held by Pixbet. The information was released by Poder360. Under the current contract, Pixbet holds the right to match any offer before the club signs a new agreement , thus ensuring the possibility of maintaining the exclusive jersey design.
This clause is included in the contract signed between the parties, which prevents a direct sponsor change without the current partner having the opportunity to match the amounts. It's now up to Pixbet to decide whether to continue with the main sponsorship or make way for Superbet.
Pixbet currently holds the most valuable master sponsorship contract in Brazilian soccer, with staggered annual payments: R$105 million in the first year, R$115 million in the second, and R$125 million in the third . The club also receives bonuses related to FlaBet, which is featured on another part of the kit, reinforcing the importance of partnerships with the betting industry for annual revenue.
The board carefully evaluates all aspects of the proposal, weighing the financial and strategic impact of the change. Ensuring economic stability is seen as essential to maintaining competitiveness in national and international tournaments.

The most likely lineup for the match is: Rossi; Alex Sandro, Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, and Emerson Royal; Allan, Jorginho, Samuel Lino, Luiz Araújo, and Plata; Pedro. Coach: Filipe Luís.
Among the confirmed absences are Erick Pulgar, recovering from surgery on the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, and Danilo, who is undergoing treatment for a hamstring injury in his right thigh.

The ball kicks off at 9:30 p.m. at Maracanã Stadium , and a packed house is expected to push Flamengo toward the return leg, scheduled for the 20th at Beira-Rio. The Rio de Janeiro team's goal is to build a comfortable lead and take advantage of the home advantage to put pressure on their opponents.
