The president of Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim, held the CBF responsible for the serious injury suffered by Pedro during training with the Brazilian team on September 4th. In an interview with "TNT Sports" on Tuesday night, the manager stated that the attacker was subjected to an excessive training load, inappropriate for someone who had just left the medical department.
“The Pedro was coming back from an injury, in fact there was a game he played, and then we released him for the national team. He goes there, has a day of recovery, and then we learn that the load that was applied to him was equivalent to 4.5 km, which is a load, let's say, very strong for when you have a player returning of injury. There is also this transition process, from a type of training within your club to selection. We observed this in the past, when we gave players to the Uruguayan national team, they subjected the players to very strong loads there and they came back injured. It is very difficult to manage this process because you hand the player over to another type of preparation, and this interface management, as much as we have tried to do it in the best possible way, to pass on as much information as possible, sometimes ends up in the type of treatment being left out. from Flamengo leading to injuries”, stated Rodolfo Landim.
Pedro had injured his hamstring of the left thigh on August 15, during the first half of the 2-0 victory over Bolívar, in the Libertadores, at Maracanã. The injury ruled him out of four more Flamengo matches. The number 9, Brazil's top scorer in 2024 with 30 goals (including two in friendlies), was called up by Dorival Júnior while still recovering and returned to the pitch in the 2-1 defeat to Corinthians, on September 1st, days before his departure. present to the Seleção.
Landim guarantees Pedro in the World Cup
When asked about the possibility of signing a new center forward for 2025, Landim reaffirmed the confidence of the football department football in the three current squad options and guaranteed that Pedro will be recovered in time to compete in the Club World Cup in the United States next year.
“The Flamengo has two classic number 9 shirts for this position, Carlinhos and Gabriel, and has also used Bruno Henrique. Regarding Pedro, we will have the 2025 World Cup, which starts on June 15th of next year and runs until July 13th. Considering the recovery time, of course everyone has a different time, but the surgery went well and the medical department thinks the player will be in full condition to compete in the Super World Cup. He will have an eight-month recovery period, it would give him time to arrive after a month of playing, at game pace, to arrive not only with the injury healed, but at game pace. We count on him recovering”, concluded the President.
