Flamengo will have important absences for the classic against Fluminense, scheduled for tomorrow. Coach Filipe Luis will not be able to count on Gerson, Erick Pulgar and Nicolás De La Cruz, who returned from the FIFA Date physically worn out. As a result, the trio will not be involved in the confrontation. The decision to spare them was taken by the technical committee, which chose to preserve them in order to avoid more serious physical problems, considering the intense calendar of competitions that Rubro-Negro faces.
On the other hand, Gonzalo Plata, who was also involved in international commitments, showed less physical wear and tear and, therefore, will be included in the classic. Plata is seen as an important piece in Filipe Luis' scheme, especially in high-intensity games like Fla-Flu. Giorgian De Arrascaeta, who only played in the first half of his match for the Uruguayan national team, will also be available for the game. Arrascaeta's presence is fundamental for Flamengo, as he is one of the main organizers of plays and can be decisive in balanced matches.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT LOSSES
In addition to these players, right-back Guillermo Varela also It's a doubt for the classic. The Uruguayan suffered a dislocated shoulder in his last game and will be re-evaluated tomorrow. If he is unable to play, Tite will have to improvise in the position or opt for another player in the squad. Varela's situation is worrying, as the full-back has been one of the team's defensive pillars and his absence could create a significant absence in the team structure.
These absences certainly impact Tite's planning for Fla-Flu, one of the most anticipated games of the Brazilian Championship. With Gerson and Pulgar out, Flamengo loses important options in the midfield, both in creation and marking. De La Cruz, in turn, had been a key player, especially in the last few games, where he demonstrated great ability to distribute the game and quickly transition.
FLAMENGO MUCH STRONGER IN THE SEASON
< b>The classic against Fluminense, known for its intense rivalry and tradition, promises to be a difficult match for Flamengo, who will have to overcome the absences with tactical intelligence and good squad management. The expectation is for a balanced confrontation, where Flamengo will have to find alternatives to compensate for the absences of their main players, counting on the support of the fans and the leadership of athletes like Bruno Henrique and Pedro.
The player is a product of Mengão and, despite not having had a place in the club's professional squad, he will have a new opportunity in the second division of the Brasileirão.

Looking to strengthen the squad for the fight to escape the relegation zone of the Brazilian Championship Series B, Athletic confirmed the arrival of defender Felipe Vieira , a young player trained in the youth ranks of Flamengo.
Felipe joined Flamengo in 2022 to play for the under-17 team and quickly excelled. At under-20, he earned a place in national and international competitions, demonstrating maturity and confidence. He was part of the squad that won the Under-20 Libertadores , a competition in which Flamengo defeated Palmeiras on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the final.
With the title, the club secured a spot in the U-20 Intercontinental Championship, which they won against Barcelona. The defender also lifted the U-20 Carioca Championship trophy for Mais Querido, but was not among the squad for the World Cup .
Now in Athletic 's professional squad, Felipe is already training under coach Rui Duarte, who now counts on the defender as an option to strengthen the defensive system in Serie B. The Minas Gerais club has the worst defense in the championship with 33 goals conceded.
In the 2024/25 season, Felipe started 15 matches for Flamengo's youth academy, totaling 721 minutes on the pitch. He didn't score any goals or provide any assists, but he received only four yellow cards and no red cards , demonstrating discipline. His main strengths are positioning, reading the game, aerial dominance, and defensive anticipation.

The recent change in the Brazilian football calendar continues to generate controversy . Flamengo, which had weeks off after being eliminated from the Copa do Brasil, saw this plan compromised by the change made by the CBF . However, this Monday (25), Filipe Luís's team showed strength: they thrashed Vitória 8-0 at Maracanã, after four days of rest. For the coach, the break was decisive for the performance.
Filipe Luís on his break at Flamengo: "It will be demonstrated one day and it will change"
"The club has already taken a position, and I prefer not to comment on the matter (of changing the calendar). Players with four days of rest fly, and then after every three days they can't perform. This hasn't been proven yet; it will be proven one day, and it will change . I'm absolutely certain that, scientifically, they will demonstrate that a player needs four days to fully recover. It won't be this year," the coach stated.
Before facing Vitória, Flamengo had faced Internacional on Wednesday (20). Thus, the interval between the two commitments guaranteed a four-day recovery period , exactly what Filipe Luís defends as ideal for athletes to reach maximum performance.
Flamengo gave their opponent no chance . Just two minutes into the game, the scoreboard was already 2-0, with goals from Samuel Lino and Pedro. Later in the first half, Arrascaeta extended the lead. In the second half, Flamengo accelerated and built a historic rout: Pedro (twice), Lino, Luiz Araújo, and Bruno Henrique sealed the 8-0 victory.
After the result, fans are already planning their next match. Flamengo will have another four days of rest before facing Grêmio on Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. Mengão is the isolated leader of the competition with 46 points, four more than the second-placed Palmeiras.
