Striker Bruno Mezenga will not be available for Andrade for the match this Sunday (March 28.03th) at 16 pm against América at Engenhão. The Flamengo center forward twisted his right ankle in the first half of the friendly against Brasília FC last Thursday (March 25.03th), and although he has already started recovery work, he is not expected to be fit to play against the Flamengo team.

Upon returning to Rio de Janeiro, Mezenga underwent an electrotherapy session to alleviate the pain in his foot. Lenon, who felt pain in his right thigh, also underwent the same procedure, under the supervision of physiotherapist Leonardo Reis. Despite this, the striker believes he will only be able to return to the field for next weekend's match against Friburguense.

"I'm still feeling a bit of pain. It's bothering me a little. It's nothing serious, but I don't think I'll be able to recover for this game. I should only be available for the last round," Mezenga explained.

Bruno has been a substitute option for Flamengo, and has already played in seven matches this season. In five of them, he was a starter. The number 37 has scored four goals this year.
