Gabigol and the Flamengo fans finally met again . This happened at Mineirão, in the game between Cruzeiro and Flamengo, which ended with a victory for Raposa and with the winning goal, scored by the striker. Since leaving the club at the end of his contract in 2024, the striker has defended the Minas Gerais team.
This was Gabigol's first game against the red-black team since then . While still warming up, the player who made history for the Rio de Janeiro club was targeted by the Rio fans. Watch the video recorded by YouTuber Flazoeiro:
GABIGOL STARTED ON THE BENCH
Despite the reunion, Gabigol remained on the bench for Cruzeiro . The player was a starter in Cruzeiro's victory over Vila Nova in the Copa do Brasil. But with the starting team, Léo Jardim once again left the striker on the bench against Flamengo.
The striker was called after 40 minutes of the second half and barely touched the ball . However, Leo Pereira, Fla's defender, committed a completely childish penalty and the center forward went to take the shot. Rossi managed to defend, but on the rebound, Gabi scored against his former club in the reunion between the two.
With this result, Flamengo drops to second place in the Brazilian Championship, with 14 points, two less than Palmeiras, which reached 16. Now, the team led by Filipe Luís needs to turn things around, because in the middle of the week, there is the Libertadores . In this sense, the Rio de Janeiro team travels to Argentina, to face Central Córdoba. The duel takes place next Wednesday, at 9:30 pm.
The full-back suffered a muscle injury in his left calf and the organization already knows whether or not he will be able to count on the Mengão player at the FIFA Date.

The Brazilian National Team announced, this Wednesday (27), the cut of Alex Sandro, from Flamengo , for the next commitments of the Fifa Date. The left-back suffered a muscle injury in the left calf during the rout over Vitória , last Monday (25), and will not be able to play.
In an official statement, the CBF confirmed the player's withdrawal and announced that there will be no replacement for the position . Carlo Ancelotti's list already included Douglas Santos (Zenit) and Caio Henrique (Monaco) as options for the left-back position.
In the same statement, the CBF announced the call-up of Jean Lucas, a Flamengo talent who currently plays for Bahia. The midfielder replaces Newcastle's Joelinton , who suffered an injury in his last Premier League match.
Therefore, Jean Lucas will be available to Carlo Ancelotti in the National Team's last two matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers: against Chile (September 4, at Maracanã) and against Bolivia (September 9, in El Alto).
Signed in August 2024, Alex Sandro performed well for Flamengo, but was unable to escape a series of physical problems . The injury against Vitória was his seventh since joining the club, all of them muscular.
The full-back has already missed 17 matches and has spent 95 days recovering in the medical department. He is also expected to be unavailable next Sunday (31), against Grêmio, in the Brasileirão. Flamengo is working to recover the defender with the decisive duels against Estudiantes in the round of 16 of the Libertadores, on September 18 and 25.
Mengão still intends to get rid of three athletes by the beginning of September, when the signing period closes around the world.

The names most likely to leave are Victor Hugo, Lorran , Juninho, and Michael, all of whom have no place in Filipe Luís's squad. Victor Hugo has received inquiries from Santos, but talks have not progressed in recent weeks. Lorran is very close to being traded to Pisa, a club in Italy's Serie B.
The Middle East also appears to be a likely market for some of the club's players. Qarabag, from Azerbaijan, has already initiated contacts to try to sign Juninho . Meanwhile, Michael continues to be a recurring target for Arab clubs, where he rose to prominence while playing for Al-Hilal, in Saudi Arabia.
Flamengo has completed the sale of Matheus Gonçalves to Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahli for €8 million (R$50 million). The midfielder had been playing for the U-20 team after losing his place under coach Filipe Luís and was a starter in the U-20 team's Intercontinental Cup triumph.
