At Corinthians , coach Dorival Júnior will have some problems when selecting the team, considering that Memphis Depay (edema in the right thigh), André Carrillo (ligament injury in the left ankle) and Rodrigo Garro (grade 2 injury in the right calf) will be missing from the team for tomorrow's match.

Grêmio's season is far from positive. Despite the Grenal victory, which brought momentary relief and boosted the confidence of the squad and fans , the overall balance is still negative, marked by frustration and underperformance, which could lead to a positive outcome for Flamengo .


WHAT TO EXPECT FOR 2026


Regardless of who takes over as club president, significant changes are expected within the squad. Grêmio is expected to look for key reinforcements in the market to strengthen the squad for next season , with a Flamengo striker on its priority list.


EVERTON CEBOLINHA ON THE AGENDA

One of the names being discussed is Everton Cebolinha , a Grêmio idol currently playing for Flamengo . The striker has lost his place at the Rio de Janeiro club and, until the end of the season, is expected to play only in games with the reserves or in rotation. His departure is considered likely.


Furthermore, Marcelo Marques, responsible for the purchase of the Arena and a great admirer of Cebolinha's football, can help behind the scenes to make the negotiation possible , even without holding the position of president, since he withdrew from the race for the position.

MANO MENEZES' SITUATION

Coach Mano Menezes, experienced and accustomed to dealing with pressure, has been on the up and down at various points this year . Despite having set up the team well to beat Internacional, the ups and downs persist, as evidenced by the draw against Botafogo, a game in which Tricolor nearly lost.
