WHAT HAPPENED TO EVERTON RIBEIRO?

Soon after the Bahia vs. Flamengo match, Everton Ribeiro announced that he was undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer. Because of this, the athlete underwent surgery to remove the nodule in the area.

With the procedure going well, Everton Ribeiro spent several days recovering with his family. Finally, with the doctors’ approval, the former number 7 of Flamengo rejoined Bahia’s squad.

IS EVERTON RIBEIRO LISTED FOR BAHIA’S NEXT BRASILEIRÃO MATCH?

No! Even though he has returned to training, Everton Ribeiro is not on Bahia’s squad list for the match against Internacional this Wednesday (22). In short, the match will take place at 7:00 p.m. (Brasília time), at Arena Fonte Nova, in a rescheduled round of the Brasileirão. However, the expectation is that the player will be available to Rogério Ceni in this final stretch of the season.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

While Everton Ribeiro continues his recovery, the Flamengo squad will take the field this Wednesday (22), against Racing (ARG), in the first leg of the Libertadores semifinal. The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

Coluna do Fla, as usual, will cover the match in detail with on-site coverage on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media. Finally, Rede Globo (broadcast TV), GETV (YouTube), and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the match.
