In summary, the professional squad of Flamengo was scheduled to train at Ninho do Urubu on the morning of this Thursday (15). According to the schedule released by the club, the main team players had an activity set for 9 AM (Brasília time).

However, due to the intense heat in Rio de Janeiro, Flamengo's schedule was altered. According to the report by Coluna do Fla, now, the professional squad of Fla trains from 4:40 PM (Brasília time).

It is worth noting that the squad with Flamengo's main players returned last Monday (12). Currently, the professional squad is in pre-season at Ninho do Urubu.
