Pedro returned to the field after seven months of treating a serious knee injury. Despite still getting into the swing of things, the number 9 of Mais Querido has achieved great goals.

Pedro scored his goal against Botafogo-PB and reached the mark of 98 goals in the history of Maracanã. Thus, the red-black number 9 is tied in ninth place with Waldo, an idol of Fluminense. It is worth noting that the center forward is already the top scorer of the 'Sacred Temple', after surpassing Gabigol.


CHECK OUT THE GREATEST SCORERS IN THE HISTORY OF MARACANÃ:

The Mais Querido comes into the match on a high after securing a spot in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores by eliminating Internacional. In the Brasileirão, the team has 43 points and sits atop the competition , two points ahead of second-place Cruzeiro, who won their match last Saturday and reached 41 points.


PROBABLE LINEUP


The team led by Filipe Luís should go to the field with: Rossi; Varela (Royal), Léo Ortiz (Danilo), Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro; Jorginho, Saúl, Arrascaeta, Plata (Luiz Araújo), Samuel Lino and Pedro.

The coach is likely to repeat the lineup that beat Internacional, at least with a similar base . It's worth remembering that Flamengo will have a week off to rest and work, as they won't return to the field until the 30th to face Grêmio.


FLAMENGO'S DEFAULT

For this round, the team will be without Erick Pulgar, who is still recovering from surgery on his right foot . The midfielder is the only absence confirmed by coach Filipe Luís, who is expected to maintain the core of the starting lineup.

Matías Viña, currently Flamengo's third-choice left-back , has been targeted by Vasco da Gama to bolster their defense. The interest arises from the possibility of Lucas Piton, the club's starting midfielder, leaving this transfer window.


At 26, the Uruguayan hasn't been used by Filipe Luís and hasn't played since the Copa Libertadores Round of 16 against Internacional. Despite the lack of opportunities, the club's management doesn't plan to release him at this time, keeping him as a player for emergency situations.


VASCO SEEKS OPTIONS IN THE MARKET


For Vasco, the search for a player with international experience and experience is a priority, and Viña meets those requirements. Sources close to the player indicate that he welcomes the opportunity to play at São Januário , especially to gain playing time as he seeks a place in the Uruguayan national team for the 2026 World Cup.

Still, negotiations are considered complex. Flamengo has shown no interest in parting ways with the player, and the player himself, while open to a move, is not pushing for a departure. Vasco continues to monitor the situation and may formalize an offer if the situation changes.


RECENT HISTORY

Viña arrived with high expectations, but is currently competing for a spot with Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas, falling behind in the pecking order. His goal, however, is to regain his place in the team and remain an option for coach Filipe Luís throughout Flamengo 's season.

Defender Pablo Marí, formerly of Flamengo and currently with Fiorentina (ITA), has no plans to return to Brazil at this time. According to Italian journalist Nicolò Schira, Atlético-MG has expressed interest in signing the defender, but has been stymied by the player's lack of interest in negotiating a departure.


In addition to the Minas Gerais club, Botafogo also expressed interest in the current window, but the situation is considered unviable. The Spanish player has a contract with the Italian team until 2027 and wants to fulfill his contract, remaining in European football.


DEFENDER IS A STARTER AT FIORENTINA


Pablo Marí arrived at Fiorentina last season after a stint at Monza (ITA). Since then, he has appeared in 13 official matches, without scoring or providing any assists . The defender also appeared in two preseason friendlies against Leicester and Manchester United, solidifying his place in the squad.

VICTORIOUS PASSAGE THROUGH FLAMENGO


The Spaniard built a notable relationship in Brazilian football during his time with Mengão in 2019. Signed from Manchester City, Pablo Marí played a key role in the team that won the Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship . He played 30 games, scoring three goals and providing one assist before moving to Europe.

ABOUT THAT...

Flamengo takes to the field this Monday (25), at 9 pm (Brasília time), to face Vitória at Maracanã.
