Flamengo give update on Pedro’s fitness ahead of next Brasileirão match | OneFootball

Will Pedro be absent for Flamengo's upcoming games?

Pedro suffered a fracture in his arm during the game against Racing (ARG) on Wednesday (22) at Maracanã, for the Libertadores. Therefore, Flamengo updated the player's situation this Thursday (23).

What was Flamengo's medical update?

"The forward Pedro was reassessed this Thursday (23) by the Medical Department of the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, at the George Helal Training Center.

After the diagnosis of a non-displaced fracture in the right ulna, the athlete began treatment and will keep his arm immobilized in the coming days. The immobilization, which extends above the elbow, is necessary to prevent the rotation of the fractured bone and ensure proper healing of the injury.

Due to the condition, Pedro will follow a specific physical maintenance program, aiming to be ready to play as soon as he is released from immobilization."

Can Pedro play for Flamengo against Fortaleza?

Initially, Pedro will not be available for Flamengo in the game against Fortaleza. This is because, with the Libertadores match on October 29, the tendency is for the athlete to be preserved following the arm injury.

However, it is still uncertain whether Pedro will be able to play for Flamengo against Racing. The forward will undergo intensive treatment, with protection in place, to be fit to play with the Sacred Mantle in the Libertadores.

What time is Flamengo's next game?

The match between Flamengo and Fortaleza will be part of the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship, starting at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday (25), at Arena Castelão. The Coluna do Fla will provide all the details of the match.
