0Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday night (31), when they face Palmeiras. For the clash, coach Tite will have all players available for the first time in more than five months. This has not happened since February 10th, when Mais Querido dueled with Volta Redonda, in Carioca.
De La Cruz, who was left out of the clash against Atlético-GO last Sunday (28th), has already recovered of pain in the tendons. Bruno Henrique, who suffered a sprained ankle on July 6th, against Cuiabá, returned to the list of related players.
ONLY MISSINGThis way, Tite will only have one drop in the team. This is because Carlinhos is unable to play in the national knockout stage. The regulations of the Copa do Brasil do not allow a player to play in the same edition for two teams and the striker had played for Nova Iguaçu.

0The second leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil against Bahia will only be on September 12th, at Maracanã. However, the Bahian team may have an important absence to face Mais Querido. Thaciano, one of the team's top scorers this season, was injured in the first half of the game against Bragantino, in the Brasileirão.
Even though he has time to recover, as Brazilian football only returns on the 12th of September, the Bahian team is concerned about the striker's situation, which is complicated.
In addition, Bahia also has another absence for the match against Mais Querido. This is because Biel, number 11 and the team's assists leader this season, suffered a ligament injury to his ankle in August.
Just like Bahia, Flamengo will also be absent for the game at Maracanã. Rubro-Negro will be without Michael, Everton Cebolinha, Matías Viña and possibly Nico De La Cruz, who was injured in the first game in Salvador.
Now, the Brazilian calendar will have a 10-day break for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. This way, Rubro-Negro will have time to try to recover at least two athletes to the sequence of games for the month of September. Furthermore, Tite will be able to train the team and resolve the problems that arose during the last matches.
