Flamengo's squad returned to training this Tuesday morning at the Ninho do Urubu Training Center in Vargem Grande. To prepare the Flamengo team for Saturday's derby against Vasco da Gama at Maracanã Stadium, the coaching staff organized a rigorous physical training session for the players.

In the activity, led by physical trainer Ronaldo Torres, the squad worked on speed, explosiveness, and endurance. The intense heat made the Red-and-Black squad's work even more difficult.

Eltinho, with pain in the back of his left thigh, and Bruno, with pain in his left shoulder, did not participate in the training session. The goalkeeper's condition is not a concern and he is expected to be on the field in the afternoon for the second training session of the day.
