After training in the morning, the Flamengo squad returned on Wednesday afternoon for another training session organized by Caio Júnior. The coach is preparing the team for Sunday's Fla-Flu match at Maracanã.

The red-and-black manager divided the squad into three teams, which took turns defending and attacking. The goal of the activity was to practice movement, finishing, marking, and passing. Everton and Sambueza, new signings, trained well and are one of Caio Júnior's options for Sunday's derby.

The big news of the afternoon was the presence of striker Diego Tardelli, who is recovering from a fractured right arm suffered in the match against Cruzeiro on August 3rd. The striker began physical therapy at the club's gym today.

"I'm very happy to be here. What happened is in the past. Now I have to dedicate myself to getting back to playing for Flamengo as soon as possible," said an excited Diego Tardelli.
