After fracturing his left elbow against Náutico on May 27.05th, midfielder Almir began physiotherapy last Friday (June 12.06th) at the George Helal Training Center. The athlete showed willingness and eagerness to return soon and be able to help the team.

"It was a difficult time, nobody wants to be out for so long, especially injured. I've started physiotherapy and I really want to come back and contribute on the field. I know I need to be a little patient. I'll continue cheering for my teammates from the sidelines. I hope we have a good game today and can come back with a victory," said Almir.

Flamengo traveled yesterday afternoon to the capital of Paraná, where they will face Coritiba this Saturday (June 13.06th) at 16:30 PM.
