REUNION WITH THE NATION! RODRIGO CAIO RETURNS TO MARACANÃ FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER HIS LEAVE

Defender Rodrigo Caio, recently integrated into the Grêmio squad, participated in this Tuesday's morning training, held at Fluminense's CT, in preparation for the clash with o Flamengo. Without playing since the end of the 2023 season, Rodrigo began his activities with the club from Rio Grande do Sul on Wednesday, the 5th, and since then has been training with the group under the guidance of coach Renato Portaluppi.

A The defender's situation is somewhat complicated from a bureaucratic point of view. Grêmio is trying to obtain legal clearance so that Rodrigo Caio can be registered in the CBF's Daily Newsletter (BID) as soon as possible, allowing him to participate in the next game against Flamengo.

Antônio Brum, vice-president of football at Grêmio, commented to the "GE" portal about the club's efforts to anticipate the player's registration. “In the situation of Rodrigo, despite the window being closed, and he not having entered the last window, there is the possibility of discussing the possible anticipation of registration, we are evaluating all this with the legal department. But we can't guarantee it. There are some exceptions when the athlete was left out of the last window and we have been raising these situations since before the signing”, explained the director.

This attempt to speed up Rodrigo Caio's registration is crucial for Grêmio, who are looking to reinforce their defense and have more options available to Renato Portaluppi for the next matches. The decision to count on the defender in the next match now depends on a favorable legal interpretation, as the rules for registering players are quite strict.
