Flamengo is getting ready to take the field this Thursday (14), when they face Vitória in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. Included in the squad for the match, Evertton Araújo heads into the clash with extra motivation.
That is because Evertton Araújo was voted the ‘Player of the Month’ for April and received the award from Flamengo this Wednesday (11). In this way, the defensive midfielder received recognition for the great form he is currently enjoying.
— First of all, I thank God for this award. I’m very happy with everything that has been happening in my life, the result of a lot of hard work and dedication. I also thank my teammates, because without them I wouldn’t be receiving this recognition today. This is the path: keep improving and help Flamengo achieve great things -, he said.
At the moment, Evertton Araújo has made 22 appearances in the 2026 season, scoring one goal and providing two assists. Considered important by former coach Filipe Luís, the youngster is looking to establish himself more and more under Leonardo Jardim.
The expectation is that, just like in recent matches, Evertton Araújo will remain in the starting lineup to face Vitória. After all, Erick Pulgar and Lucas Paquetá are still sidelined for Flamengo. As a result, the defensive midfielder is expected to form a partnership with Jorginho this Thursday (14).
With Evertton Araújo available, Flamengo is focused on the Copa do Brasil. This Thursday (14), the Rubro-Negro faces Vitória again at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Barradão, in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.
So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Vitória through YouTube, the website and social media. However, SporTV (cable TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Copa do Brasil match.
