Inside Flamengo’s intense week at Ninho do Urubu | OneFootball

Flamengo put in a high-intensity week at Ninho do Urubu as the board sought to reinforce the squad for the rest of the season. According to Coluna Do Fla, Leonardo Jardim led demanding sessions from Monday with full commitment across the group.

Many drills turned combative, with match-level tempo and robust duels. Even with that edge, the mood among players remained light, and the block of work was due to finish on Saturday afternoon.

Before another pause for Copa do Brasil fixtures, Flamengo recorded a win over Chapecoense, then draws with São Paulo and Internacional in the Brasileirão. Those results have brought scrutiny from supporters, and players view the Vitória game as a starting point to change course and reset current doubts.

The medical room is almost empty. For Sunday’s meeting with Vitória, only Luiz Araújo is a confirmed absentee as he continues to recover from a left knee injury, while Plata and Paquetá trained well this week and could return.

Flamengo host Vitória at the Maracanã on Sunday, with kick-off at 19:30 Brasília time. The match will be shown on SporTV and Premiere.
