This Saturday, November 4th, Rodrigo Muniz made his first appearance of the Premier League season for Fulham, facing Manchester United. At the time Muniz left the field, the score was still a goalless draw, but his departure was marked by a harsh incident. Rodrigo Muniz, a player who rose to prominence at Flamengo, faced a difficult time during the match. p>
25 minutes into the second half, he slipped and fell to the pitch during a tackle. He remained on the floor for a few minutes, clearly showing intense pain. After a while, he managed to get up, but the expression of pain was still visible on his face. Unfortunately, Muniz was unable to continue on the field and was replaced by Carlos Vinícius, a former Palmeiras player. What caught attention was the the way Rodrigo Muniz left the field, crying profusely. This clearly indicated that he was suffering greatly from the injury. His departure worried the Fulham fans and team regarding the next matches. P>
After Muniz's departure, Manchester United ended up winning the match 1-0, with a great goal scored by Bruno Fernandes. Rodrigo Muniz had the opportunity to play in eight matches this season, scoring just one goal. This goal came in the previous game, with an assist from Andreas Pereira, who also played for Flamengo. The difficult moment Rodrigo Muniz experienced during the game certainly raises concerns about his physical condition and his participation in Fulham's upcoming matches.

For Fulham fans, the hope is that Rodrigo Muniz recovers quickly and can return to the field in full shape. His presence is important for the team and his potential in attack is recognized.
The injury suffered in this game is a reminder of how unpredictable and challenging the sport can be, but it also shows the determination and passion that players like Muniz have for football. Rodrigo Muniz and his ability to recover and come back stronger than ever. Fulham fans are eager to see him in action again, hoping he can contribute to the team's success in the Premier League season.

The striker returns to work with the squad at Ninho do Urubu and could reinforce the team in April with a view to the Brasileirão and Libertadores, according to the technical committee

Flamengo's squad returned this Monday with some great news. After seven months out due to a serious injury to his left knee , Pedro was released by the medical department and returned to training with the group at Ninho do Urubu.
"Back! I missed being with everyone. I just want to thank God," the number 9 posted on his social media.
The Flamengo forward is following a specific schedule for physical reconditioning, but is no longer on the list of athletes in the medical department. The coaching staff expects Pedro to be ready to play again in April, as Filipe Luís announced after the draw against Internacional.
THE STRIKER'S RECOVERY HAD A GRADUAL EVOLUTION ON THE FIELD
At the end of February, Pedro was cleared to play on the field. A few days later, he appeared to be taking part in the first warm-ups with the squad. The injury occurred in September of last year, during training with the Brazilian national team. In a play without contact with other players, the center forward ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. After surgery, he began rehabilitation the following month.
PEDRO HAD HIS BEST GOAL AVERAGE EVEN WITHOUT A FULL SEASON
Despite the serious injury and long period on the sidelines, Pedro recorded his best goalscoring average of his career in 2024. Before the injury, he had scored 32 times in 45 games, achieving 0.7 goals per game. This performance surpassed his previous numbers, although his most prolific year in terms of overall goals was 2023, with 35 goals in 61 games.
The red-and-black club is looking to strengthen its squad after difficulties in the debut of the Brazilian Championship and is already negotiating signings with a view to the Super World Cup

Flamengo felt the absence of Gerson and Arrascaeta in the draw against Internacional in the first round of the Brazilian Championship. Given this scenario, the Mengão board is already moving behind the scenes to reinforce the sector and guarantee more options for the coach.
On the evening of last Sunday (30), the club's football director, José Boto, advanced in the negotiations to hire Jorginho . The midfielder was on the agenda at a meeting in Rio de Janeiro and should arrive at Mais Querido in the middle of the year, in time to compete in the FIFA Super Club World Cup.
ANDREAS PEREIRA MAY RETURN TO MENGÃO TO STRENGTHEN THE MIDFIELD
In addition to Jorginho , Flamengo is considering the return of Andreas Pereira, currently at Fulham in England. The player is seen as an ideal replacement for Arrascaeta and has the approval of the coaching staff. The information was released by journalist Julio Miguel Neto.
According to reports, José Boto has already scheduled a meeting with agent Giuliano Bertolucci to discuss the signing of the midfielder. Andreas has a contract with Fulham until June 2026, which could make negotiations difficult.
ANDREAS PEREIRA'S FUTURE DEPENDS ON FULHAM'S PERFORMANCE THIS SEASON
The English club is in no rush to decide the player's future and a possible qualification for the Europa League could directly impact his departure. However, Flamengo is looking to get ahead of the game and is already preparing an offer to hire the player.
The captain of the tetra was the coach of Amarelinha between 2014 and 2016 and criticized the former Mengão's attitudes when lobbying for the vacancy

In an interview with the UOL portal, Dunga , the captain of the four-time champion and coach of Brazil in the 2010 World Cup , criticized Tite , formerly of Flamengo , for having "campaigned" to take over the Brazilian national team in 2016. At the time, the Brazilian national team was going through a crisis in the qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup , and the early elimination in the group stage of the Copa América Centenario worsened the situation. After the fall in the United States, Dunga was fired, and Tite took over.
“I worked with everyone against it,” says Dunga
Dunga argues that he was dismissed after a " stolen goal " by Peru's Ruidíaz in the match that eliminated Brazil from the 2016 Copa América .
"The national team is about results. I left because we lost to Peru with a handball goal . The game was stopped for 10 minutes , without VAR , without anything . So why was it stopped for so long if it was the referee's decision?", asked Dunga.
The former coach also claimed that he faced resistance behind the scenes at the national team. "When I was in charge of the national team, everyone was against me and, even so, I got results . There was a coach who had everything in his favor and didn't win what I won," said the captain of the four-time champion.
Dunga confirms criticism of Tite
When asked about who was campaigning to take his place in the national team, Dunga mentioned the press and people linked to football .
"Many are campaigning to get into the Brazilian team in my place... ' It's my time , it's my opportunity , I studied'", said the coach.
When asked if he was referring directly to Tite, who took over Flamengo precisely after leaving the National Team in 2023, Dunga confirmed : "Yes... He put his mother , his father , his uncle , he put everyone in favor", he said, reinforcing his dissatisfaction with the way he lost his position.
Finally, Dunga criticized the analysis made about his work and compared his trajectory to that of Carlos Alberto Parreira, world champion in 1994.
"And then the same thing happened with Parreira (in 1994). It's a defensive team , right? Look at how many goals we scored and how many we conceded. It's numbers. People like numbers so much, but they don't study them when they're going to criticize . They only see how many goals the team scored. We had the Confederations Cup, we had the top scorer... But it's the result. If you win, you stay, you're considered good. If you lose, you're bad," Dunga concluded.
