Coach Abel Ferreira has decided to remain cautious and will not field Bruno Rodrigues for the direct clash against Flamengo , in the tenth round of the Brazilian Championship. The striker, who is in the final stages of recovery from a serious injury suffered in January, will remain out at least until the match against Sporting Cristal, in the middle of next week.




The decision is not only medical, but also strategic. Bruno is in the final days of his physical transition, and even though he is close to returning to the field, the derby against Flamengo was considered an unnecessary risk. The coaching staff understands that the duel against the Rio de Janeiro team is of high intensity, which could represent excessive fatigue or even a risk of new injury for the player.



AN IMMINENT EXIT


Against Ceará, in the second leg of the Copa Betano do Brasil, this Thursday (23), Abel had already considered including Bruno, but chose to postpone his return. The idea was to give rhythm in a knockout match, but the good moment of the Ceará team and the tight score in the first leg (1-0 for Palmeiras) made the coach back down.


FLAMENGO WATCHES THE CAST

Bruno has not played since the beginning of the year. In January, he suffered a serious injury and, since then, he has been following a gradual process of returning to action. In training, he is already participating normally in ball activities, but the medical department and the committee prefer not to rush any stage of his return.


The match against Flamengo is important. The Alviverde team leads the Brasileirão with 22 points, four ahead of the Rubro-Negro team, in second place. In addition to the sporting rivalry, Palmeiras has not beaten Flamengo since 2018, in a Brazilian Championship match, and the victory could represent an important step in the fight for the national title.

Even after a successful transfer window, Flamengo remains attentive to the transfer market to further strengthen its squad . The main target at this time is Argentine striker Valentín Castellanos , a player who has expressed interest in joining Flamengo but faces resistance from Lazio, who are not making his exit easy.


Last Saturday (16), Lazio played a friendly against Atromitos, from Greece, winning 2-0. However, the match was marked by a general confusion that resulted in the expulsion of Castellanos . The Mengão striker disagreed with defender Mansur , exchanged aggressions and ended up receiving a red card.


According to journalist Fabrício Lopes, the fight didn't end on the field. In the locker room, the situation escalated, and the police had to intervene to calm things down . Italian press sources indicate that Castellanos is experiencing emotional instability, driven by frustration at not being released by Lazio to play in Brazilian football.


WHAT DOES THE GAZETA KNOW?
According to an investigation by Gazeta do Urubu, major signings would only happen if there was an unexpected departure or serious injury to a starter. Therefore, the club will not make any further moves for Taty Castellanos.
FLAMENGO LOOKING FOR CENTER FORWARD

In the market, the Rubro-Negro are looking for a number 9 with different characteristics than Pedro , prioritizing a more mobile and versatile player in attack. Names like Taremi, Beltrán, and Castellanos were only monitored by the Rio team.
