Bruno Henrique available for Flamengo after suspension lifted by STJD | OneFootball

Bruno Henrique may strengthen Filipe Luís's team this Thursday (18), against Estudiantes (ARG)

After the distress, the relief. After receiving a 12-game suspension, Bruno Henrique is cleared to reinforce Flamengo against Estudiantes (ARG), on Thursday (18), for the Libertadores. The Flamengo idol received a stay of execution from the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD).

However, until the clearance was granted, it was days of tension for the number 27 and for the Flamengo fans. After all, on September 4, Bruno Henrique underwent a trial of more than six hours. In it, the player received the suspension, plus a fine of R$ 60 thousand for allegedly providing privileged information to his brother about a yellow card warning in the Brasileirão 2023.

Since the decision was not unanimous, Flamengo left the trial confident of getting the stay of execution. This is because, Bruno Henrique was acquitted under article 243 (CBJD), which states “to act, deliberately, in a way that is detrimental to the team he defends”.

As for the penalty under article 243-A (CBJD), about “acting in an unfair or fraudulent manner, with the aim of influencing the result of a match, event or equivalent”, Bruno Henrique was convicted, but not by the totality of the votes, opening a gap for the player's defense. The good news came on Saturday (13).

HOW WAS THE STAY OF EXECUTION GRANTED?

On the eve of the match against Juventude, Flamengo announced that it had obtained the stay of execution for Bruno Henrique. The celebration was not complete for the Nation, as the idol was feeling muscle pain and could not face Juventude on Sunday (14).

IS IT TIME?

However, free from the physical problem, Bruno Henrique is cleared and strengthens Flamengo against Estudiantes (ARG), for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. The ball rolls from 9:30 pm (Brasília time) on Thursday (18), at Maracanã.

Now, it remains to be seen whether coach Filipe Luís will put the striker in the starting lineup. Bruno Henrique started the matches against Internacional, in the round of 16 of the Libertadores. However, Pedro has been the chosen one in the latest rounds of the Brasileirão.
