0Varela went to Ninho do Urubu this Friday (18), but not to train, as his teammates did. The side has an injured right knee and had to go to the club's medical team. It was decided that a more conservative route would be taken to treat the player.
The Uruguayan was injured in Mengão's last game. This Wednesday (16), in the classification of the final of the Copa do Brasil, the side entered the field against Grêmio, but left in the final stretch of the meeting with a lot of pain in his right knee. The club informed this Thursday (17) that he suffered an accident in the medial collateral ligament and in the articular capsule of the right knee.
On Friday, the star presented himself to the CT medical team, who decided to implement a slower and more conservative treatment. Surgery will not be necessary, but the expected recovery time is between six and eight weeks. According to this limit, the player will be out of the final of the Copa do Brasil, scheduled for September, but should still be able to play for the Brasileirão this season.
While undergoing therapy, the rest of the Fla team was already training in preparation for the next game. This Sunday (20), Mais Querido will travel to Paraná to face Curitiba for the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Check it out:
"The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that the athlete Gabriel Barbosa underwent tests that did not diagnose an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh.

Red-black team remains eight points behind leader Botafogo

0Last Sunday (15), Flamengo and Vasco drew 1-1, at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The result, although frustrating for the red and blacks, who dominated much of the match, kept them eight points behind leader Botafogo.
Mais Querido entered the field imposing his pace and controlling the actions for most of the game. The red-black goal was scored by Gerson, who has been standing out in recent matches. However, CRF conceded the draw in the final minutes, which prevented a more significant approach to the classification table.
Even with the difference in points for Botafogo, the technical committee, led by Tite, devised a strategy focused on keeping the team competitive until the last rounds. According to information from the Coluna do Fla portal, the objective is to arrive "alive" in the fight for the title in the final five rounds. Matheus Bachi, assistant coach, believes that the recent good performance against Bahia and Vasco could be an indication that the team is on the right track to fight for the top again.
While trying to get closer to the leaders in the Brasileirão, Mengão is already preparing for the next challenge in the Libertadores. The team will face Peñarol, at Maracanã, in the quarterfinals of the continental tournament. The Rio team is looking for a good result at home before traveling to Uruguay for the second leg next week.
