Maxi, Juan, Airton, Erick Flores, Willians, Antônio, Everton, and Welinton returned to training in Gávea on Monday afternoon for a special training session organized by Flamengo's coaching staff. The rest of the squad will return to training tomorrow at 9 a.m., also in Gávea.

To prepare for the Guanabarana Cup semifinals, Maxi, Juan, Erick Flores, Airton, Welinton, and Everton worked on their technical skills on the field. Juan, number 6, trained with ease and showed he had recovered from nerve pain in his right leg. Maxi, who had tendonitis in his right foot, also trained normally. Everton also showed he had recovered from the right thigh pain that forced him out of the derby against Botafogo. Doctor Márcio Tannure believes all three players will be on the field for the semifinals.

Willians, with pain in his left thigh, underwent physical therapy. Midfielder Antônio worked on his physical condition at the club's gym.
