All set, Nation! Flamengo finished this Tuesday (24), at Ninho do Urubu, the preparation for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil against Grêmio, which takes place tomorrow (25), at 21:30 pm, at Arena do Grêmio, in Porto Alegre-RS.

This morning, coach Renato Gaúcho led a tactical exercise with the red-black players who are available for the match. Defender Léo Pereira, who was substituted in the game against Ceará last Sunday (22), suffered a bone trauma in the distal phalanx of the fifth metatarsal of his left foot. He was included in the match.

Flamengo's new signing for the season, Andreas Pereira, is also included in the squad and could make his debut with the Sacred Mantle. After training, the Flamengo delegation continued on to the capital of Rio Grande do Sul.

Flamengo and Grêmio have faced each other 114 times, with a very even record. The Mais Querido has won 37 times, drawn 38, and lost 39 times. In the last meeting between the two teams, Mengão won 4-2 in the 2020 Brazilian Championship at Arena do Grêmio, with goals from Everton Ribeiro, Gabigol, Arrascaeta, and Isla.
