The Flamengo squad returned last Monday (12th) at the Ninho do Urubu Training Center to start the 2026 pre-season. In the first activity, coach Filipe Luís included a 'gem' from the club's youth categories. This is Lucas Silva.

As reported by the Coluna do Fla team, defender Lucas Silva is undergoing a 'training period' with the professional team. Thus, the trend is for coach Filipe Luís to continue evaluating the player throughout this week's activities.

Even going through this process with the professionals, the athlete is part of the club's under-20 squad. As such, the player was part of the team that won several important titles, including the Club World Cup in 2024.WHAT IS THE SITUATION OF FLAMENGO'S PROFESSIONAL SQUAD IN 2026?

It's important to note that besides Lucas Silva, coach Filipe Luís also has Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Danilo, and Vitão in the defender role.

Just like on Monday (12th), this Tuesday (13th), the main squad players are following the club's schedule at the start of the pre-season. The debut for most of the team is set to happen next week in a classic match against Vasco at Maracanã.
