Matheus França is one of the great highlights to have left Flamengo's academy in recent times. The star has been in England since August this year, when he was bought by Crystal Palace (ING). He has been preparing with the technical team over the last two months and the expectation is that he will take to the field for the first time in the next Premier League game.
On October 21st (Saturday) Crystal Palace will face Newcastle , away from home, in the ninth round of the English Championship. According to the Coluna do Fla portal, the English team's objective is to put the former Flamengo player on the field in this match and, in the process of preparing for this moment, he has even been training with the main squad.
Matheus' routine changed in recent weeks, when Crystal decided that he should train with professional athletes, even though he is only 19 years old. According to Coluna, when he arrived on the old continent, the red-and-black midfielder already started receiving 'special attention'.
He was bought during the last transfer window for a fixed 20 million euros (around R$ 104 million at the time), in installments, and another 5 million euros (R$ 26 million ) for possible bonuses. Its purchase from Mais Querido was confirmed on August 5, 2023.
França did a great job as Cria do Ninho. He even made the club's professional ranks in 2021, at just 17 years old. Since that time, he has played in 53 games with Manto Sagrado, scoring nine goals and providing one assist. He participated in winning the 2022 Copa do Brasil, and also won the Brasileirão and the Copa do Brasil with the U17 team.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Tite defined Flamengo and announced the 11 starters who will face Peñarol, this Thursday, at Maracanã, at 7pm. De la Cruz returns to the starting lineup in place of Léo Ortiz, and Alex Sandro and Plata were retained. The duel with the Uruguayans is the first between the teams in the quarter-finals of the Copa Conmebol Libertadores.
Alex Sandro and Plata, debutants in last Sunday's classic, remain in the team after having good performances in the draw against Vasco. Gabigol is now out of the relationship due to fibrosis in the posterior muscle of his right thigh. Flamengo, in a statement, reported that the athlete did not suffer any injury in the region. Check it out:
"The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that the athlete Gabriel Barbosa underwent tests that did not diagnose an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh. However, the Technical Committee opted for precaution and did not list him for the duel against Peñarol due to fibrosis in the region. Gabi is handed over to physiotherapists and physical trainers for the series of decisive games of the season."
