Filipe Luís surprises and reveals that Pedro has a chance to play in the World Cup semifinal

Last Thursday (11), Pedro took part in his first training session with the Flamengo squad in Qatar. The news, of course, excited the red-and-black fans. In a press conference this Friday (12), Filipe Luís admitted the possibility of the number 9 getting some minutes on the field in Saturday's game (13).

— Well, first of all, it's really good to have Pedro back with us on the field. You could already see yesterday in training and in the previous days as well that he came back with the same confidence, the same joy and desire he had before the arm injury. — Our plan for him will depend on his day-to-day progress. Today there's another test so he can see how he feels, how he compares to his teammates. In today's training, we'll decide if he can get minutes tomorrow or not. My expectation and hope is that everything goes well in today's session and that he can, indeed, get some minutes in tomorrow's match.
