Flamengo will probably not have De La Cruz available for the round of 16 of the Club World Cup. This is because the Uruguayan player was left out of the second training session, which took place in preparation for the match against Bayern Munich, from Germany. This Thursday (26), he only did physiotherapy work at the Disney Complex, in Orlando, according to information from the Lance portal.




COMPLICATED TREATMENT


De la Cruz is still recovering from a sprain in his left knee, which he suffered on May 18 during the derby against Botafogo. Last week, he showed signs of improvement and even trained on the field, but he started to feel pain again and, therefore, has only been doing physiotherapy sessions before returning to training normally.

In the second training session, the press was able to watch the first 15 minutes of the activities. Coach Filipe Luís was able to count on all the players, since the first training session was just a recovery session . In this training session, the team did quick passing and finishing exercises.


This Sunday (29), at 5 pm (Brasília time), Flamengo plays against Bayern Munich, whoever qualifies in the quarterfinals , the winner faces the winner of the clash between Paris Saint-Germain, from France, and Inter Miami, from the United States.


INJURY HISTORY

Since being signed by Flamengo in January 2024, Nicolás De La Cruz has faced a routine full of ups and downs. Unfortunately, physical difficulties have been one of the biggest challenges to his permanence in the main team. The Uruguayan midfielder, who stood out in the acquisition, has accumulated a sequence of injuries and medical absences that have directly affected his regularity on the field.

An idol among Flamengo fans for his historic work between 2019 and 2020, Jorge Jesus still dreams of returning to manage Flamengo . This information was revealed by Kleber Leite, the club's former president and a personal friend of the coach. According to him, the coach would accept an offer to return to the club.


JORGE JESUS WANTS TO COME BACK?


In an interview with Canal Mundo GV, hosted by former goalkeeper Getúlio Vargas, Kleber revealed that Jorge Jesus was very close to re-signing Flamengo in 2021, following Renato Gaúcho's departure. At the time, Flamengo's board traveled to Portugal to negotiate directly with the coach . A meeting was even held, but after asking for time to decide, Jesus decided to sign Paulo Sousa.


"He could have been at Flamengo a long time ago. (...) You know that story about you running to avoid getting there? Flamengo ran to avoid getting there. They didn't want to, actually, that's it. (...) I have no doubt that Jesus would accept an offer from Flamengo . Here or even with the Brazilian national team, where they also lost their chance. He was the coach at the time," declared Kleber Leite.

JORGE JESUS' NUMBERS AT FLAMENGO


Jorge Jesus achieved impressive numbers with Flamengo. In 58 games, the Mais Querido under his command achieved 44 wins, 10 draws and only four losses, an 81.6% success rate . Under his command, the Rubro-Negro won the following titles: Libertadores (2019), Brazilian Championship (2019), Brazilian Super Cup (2020), Recopa Sudamericana (2020) and Campeonato Carioca (2020).

With more trophies than defeats, Jorge Jesus made his mark at Flamengo, leading the team to its peak under the brilliance of the quartet formed by Gabigol, Arrascaeta, Everton Ribeiro and Bruno Henrique and still having his name on the lips of the red-black fans.
