Flamengo set date for Pedro’s return to action, says journalist | OneFootball

Flamengo plans to have Pedro back next Saturday (22), against Bragantino

The time is approaching for Pedro to return to the field. After suffering a fracture in his arm on October 22, against Racing (ARG), in the Libertadores, the number 9 is expected to face Bragantino next Saturday (22), at Maracanã.

According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Flamengo plans to have Pedro in the penultimate game before the Libertadores final. Thus, the striker will have enough time to regain his game rhythm and be in good condition to face Palmeiras in Lima on the 29th.

Last week, Pedro replaced the immobilization on his arm and began partial training with the Flamengo group. This was the last stage of the rehabilitation process. The recovery is progressing in a manner considered satisfactory by the club's medical department, and the goal scorer should not be a problem for the big Libertadores final.

WHAT HAPPENED TO PEDRO?

In the second half of Flamengo vs. Racing, in the first leg of the Libertadores semifinal at Maracanã, Pedro was hit by an opponent and broke his right forearm. For this type of injury, the recovery time is four to eight weeks. However, the number 9 will be ready in the shortest possible time.

WHO PLAYS AGAINST FLUMINENSE?

Still without Pedro, Flamengo is expected to have Bruno Henrique leading the attack against Fluminense this Wednesday (19), for the Brasileirão. The match will start at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for the 34th round, with full coverage by Coluna do Fla.

Therefore, if Pedro is still absent from the team, Filipe Luís is close to gaining two reinforcements: Léo Ortiz and Jorginho, who are in the final stages of recovery from an ankle sprain and a muscle injury, respectively. Additionally, Mengão hopes to count on the foreign players who are with their national teams, such as Arrascaeta, Varela, Viña, Plata, and Carrascal.
