On Monday afternoon (11), the red-black squad returned to Ninho do Urubu and began preparing for the match against Juventude, which takes place next Wednesday (13), at 19 pm, at Maracanã. The duel is valid for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Athletes Bruno Henrique and Arrascaeta underwent tests that revealed injuries. The former has a tear in the adductor muscle of his left thigh, while the latter's diagnosis from the Uruguayan national team was confirmed.

One of the standout players from last Saturday's 3-0 victory over Fortaleza, striker Pedro was a guest on FlaTV's "Craque da Semana." He spoke about his expectations for the match against Juventude:

"Every Brasileirão game is a final for us, and this one will be no different. We'll go in respecting our opponents, but always striving for victory. Flamengo's squad demands this every match: to win. I hope we can go in with this mindset of wanting to win, but always respecting our opponents," said Pedro.
