According to a report by Coluna do Fla, Flamengo “is not ruling anything out”. At the same time, the club stated that the current trend is for the striker to miss the Libertadores final.

For the rest of the season, nothing has been decided. In other words, the player will undergo further evaluations, and all possibilities remain open, with the club maintaining a cautious approach.

DID THE STRIKER RECOVER FROM HIS FOREARM FRACTURE?

Pedro had been recovering from a forearm injury since October 22, when he suffered a fracture during the first leg of the Libertadores semifinal against Racing (ARG). The accident happened after a collision with an opponent while contesting the ball.

Since then, the striker had been undergoing treatment and was close to returning to the pitch. In fact, during the examination that detected the thigh injury, the number 9 underwent an X-ray that showed signs of consolidation of the forearm fracture.
