Having been out of the Flamengo squad for three matches, left-back Juan trained normally on Thursday afternoon (September 23.09rd) at Gávea. He did physical work with the ball under the command of trainer Diogo Linhares, and then participated in a technical training session focusing on crosses and finishing with reserve players and those not selected for last Wednesday's (September 22.09nd) match against Grêmio in Porto Alegre.

The player trained normally; however, his return for the game against Palmeiras on Saturday (September 25.09th) at Engenhão has not yet been confirmed by the Flamengo coaching staff. The full-back will be re-evaluated this Friday (September 24.09th), and only then will a decision be made regarding his inclusion in the starting lineup.

\

"Juan is doing much better, he did physiotherapy this morning, but tomorrow (Friday) he will be re-evaluated and we will decide if the player will be able to play on Saturday," said Flamengo's doctor, Walter Martins.

\

Physical trainer Diogo Linhares also highlighted Juan's progress, who suffered a sprained left ankle, but, like the medical department, left the decision for Friday.

\

"He's progressing. He did very well physically, but nothing is decided yet. We'll only have a definitive answer tomorrow," he added.
