Flamengo's week promises great challenges, with important matches for the Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship. After debuting in the continental competition against Deportivo Táchira, next Thursday (03), the team led by Filipe Luís returns to the field on Sunday (06), facing Vitória for the Brazilian Championship. Both matches will be played away from home , which requires well-planned logistics by the coaching staff.


Flamengo 's coaching staff is analyzing two options for the team's logistics. The first strategy foresees that a larger group of players will travel directly to Venezuela for the Libertadores debut and, immediately after the match against Deportivo Táchira, will head to Salvador to face Vitória.


Another alternative being studied by the technical committee is to spare some athletes for the opening match of the Libertadores. In this case, only a small group would travel to San Cristóbal, while another would remain in Brazil to join the delegation directly in Salvador.


LIBERTADORES DEBUT TAKES PLACE IN VENEZUELA AGAINST DEPORTIVO TÁCHIRA

The first challenge of the week takes place next Thursday (03), when Rubro-Negro faces Deportivo Táchira in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores da América . The match will be played at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Polideportivo de Pueblo Nuevo Stadium, in San Cristóbal.


The debut in the continental competition is considered fundamental for Mengão's plans, which seeks to conquer America again. The coaching staff intends to find the best balance between maximum strength and player preservation so as not to compromise performance in the rest of the season.

FLAMENGO HAS A DUEL AGAINST VITÓRIA IN THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP ON SUNDAY (06)

In addition to the Libertadores, the team is also focused on the Brazilian Championship . On Sunday (06), Filipe Luís's team will face Vitória in the second round of the national competition. The ball will roll at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Barradão Stadium, in Salvador.

Midfielder Erick Pulgar took an important step towards returning to play for Flamengo . Tests carried out this Friday (12) showed the consolidation of the fracture in the fifth metatarsal of the right foot , allowing the player to be released to begin activities on the pitch.


With medical clearance, Pulgar now begins the transition to field work . The Chilean will continue physical therapy to resume running, progress to ball-handling activities, and then enter the physical conditioning phase, the final phase before returning to official matches.


The midfielder hasn't played since the Club World Cup in June. After surgery on July 3, Pulgar spent some time in Chile and then returned to Ninho do Urubu to continue his treatment. Until then, he had been working out in the training center's indoor area.


INJURY AGAINST BAYERN

The injury occurred during the Club World Cup Round of 16 match against Bayern Munich. The midfielder had already suffered the same type of fracture in his first months at the club, when it took him about 60 days to return to the squad.


RETURN TO GAMES

Although coach Filipe Luís stated that he was counting on the Chilean for the Libertadores quarterfinals, it is unlikely that he will be on the field for the matches against Estudiantes , scheduled for September 18 and 25. Pulgar is expected to be available later in the season, reinforcing Flamengo's role in the ongoing competitions.

Adding up free tickets, courtesies, VIP boxes, and reserved seats, the projected attendance for the match is high. The estimate is that more than 67,000 fans will cheer the team on in their quest for a spot in the semifinals of the continental competition.
