Flamengo achieved an important victory against Palestino last Wednesday night (10), for the Copa Libertadores, at Maracanã. The red and black goals were scored by Pedro and Léo Ortiz, but the Nation's celebration did not last long. This is because Brazil woke up this Thursday (11) with the news that one of the team's main players could be Price. This is the situation of the idol, Bruno Henrique.
According to the newspaper Bandeirantes, the athlete is being investigated in court and could face up to 6 years in prison if he is convicted. According to information from the Brasil Urgente program, the investigation into the attacker is for ideological falsehood, in addition to the use of a false document. This investigation has been going on for around 4 years.
Also according to Band's investigation, there is a suspicion that Bruno Henrique's driver's license is fake. In 2020, the player was stopped in a law enforcement checkpoint drought in Rio de Janeiro and refused to take a breathalyzer test. During a search for details, the Civil Police concluded that the driver's license of Mengão's idol was not included in the records of the state's traffic department in that state.
Evidence of possible fraud was collected and sent to the Detran in São Paulo, the place where the player said he took the document. The suspicion became high for a reason. The period in which the Fla attacker says he took the theoretical and also practical at the SP driving school, he was in pre-season with Flamengo at Ninho do Urubu.
The Band reports that this information about the date of the training period was informed by the player's own advisors. The driving school, whose name was not mentioned, enters the suspected of having defrauded the document process together with the player. The investigation reveals that Bruno Henrique may have obtained his driver's license without ever having completed any mandatory process, whether in theoretical exams, where a test is taken and then in practice, when there are classes with the car and then it goes through the process of being evaluated by a professional.
In a note for Brasil Urgente, neither Flamengo nor BH will speak out. The possible conviction could mean that the attacker will be punished by up to 6 years in prison, but there is still no set date for the court's decision to be announced.

Friday (15) was marked by a press conference with Arrascaeta, at Ninho do Urubu. The Uruguayan midfielder made strong statements about the club's backstage and even repeated a famous phrase from Jorge Jesus, the Portuguese coach who marked an era at Flamengo.
Arrascaeta quotes Jorge Jesus: "Flamengo only loses to itself"
Without directly mentioning the coach, Arrascaeta emphasized that internal problems often harm the club's atmosphere . The Uruguayan also made it clear that he will always stand by his teammates in situations where unprepared professionals could harm them:
"I often tell my friends that Flamengo only loses to itself, because it's difficult to explain some of the things that happen here. Sometimes it's due to a lack of capacity from people who don't realize the size of the club or who aren't used to dealing with this pressure . But when you have experienced and respected players like Alex Sandro, Bruno, Nico, Viña, and so many others, the group becomes stronger," said the number 10.
"Whatever happens outside won't affect our squad. We'll always be together. When something happens to a teammate, we'll be here to help," Arrascaeta assured. The statement alludes to the controversy surrounding former doctor José Luiz Runco, who was fired after exposing details of De La Cruz's physical condition , claiming the Uruguayan was living with an irreversible chronic injury.
At the time, Arrascaeta posted a photo alongside De La Cruz, accompanied by the message: " It's about taking care of our own. It's that simple ." The gesture was interpreted as a dig at the former professional, as well as a pat on the back for his club and national team friend.
Now, at the press conference, the number 10 reinforced the importance of squad unity in the face of external turbulence: "Regardless of who it is, Nico or another player, we have to be together. It's very difficult to stay focused on the field when these situations happen. But I've been here for six years and I know that Flamengo always experiences moments like this. Our role is to keep ourselves in the locker room so that this doesn't affect us, even though some situations are very difficult," he concluded.

Flamengo has important reinforcements in the coming days. With De La Cruz, Danilo and Emerson Royal on coach Filipe Luís' list of players for the game against Internacional this Sunday (17), Mengão now has a practically empty medical department. But Erick Pulgar's situation still deserves attention .
A regular starter for Filipe Luís, the Chilean midfielder has been out of action since the FIFA Club World Cup. The good news is that his recovery is progressing well, and a return to training is expected. Pulgar is expected to return to action in the second half of September .
His return to action will depend on his fitness after a long layoff. Even if he doesn't return until October, the midfielder will still have a good run of matches , as the season doesn't end until December 21st.
Pulgar fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot in the 4-2 loss to Bayern Munich in Orlando, Flamengo 's final World Cup match. He underwent surgery on July 3 and, after two weeks of rest, began physical therapy at Ninho do Urubu.
The Chilean is no longer in pain and has been monitoring his progress through imaging tests. Between the 10th and 12th week after surgery, he will undergo a CT scan to assess fracture healing and then be cleared to safely return to training . After that, he will undergo further steps: running on the field, ball work, release from physical therapy, and finally, reintegration into the squad.
