Flamengo's squad returned to Gávea on Tuesday afternoon to finish the physical training they began in the morning. Coach Riva Carli led a vigorous training session on the field for the red-and-black squad.

Flamengo's new signing, Petkovic, did a separate aerobic workout. Adriano, Léo Moura, and Arthuro didn't take to the field and only participated in one gym session.

After the activity, the vice president of football, Kleber Leite, spoke about the absence of striker Adriano from the morning training session.

"I also tried to call Isaías Tinoco (the football manager) and couldn't get through. He had a problem to solve and explained himself. The matter is resolved because his explanation was perfectly coherent. He, like me, couldn't speak to Isaias this morning. It won't happen again. We can't make a mountain out of a molehill. Adriano has our understanding and our affection. We will be his partners."
