Flamengo announced Leonardo Jardim on March 4. Since then, the coach has overseen five matches, but with little time between them. However, this month’s FIFA international break will give the manager some breathing room, and he intends to use the time to help Bruno Henrique recover.
The Flamengo idol has been sidelined with pubic pain since February 26. Therefore, the coaching staff is focused on giving the squad rest and could return to the match schedule with the forward available again.
According to the most recent medical update released by Fla, the player has already started physical therapy on the pitch. Therefore, there is a chance that the No. 27 will be included in the squad for the next match. Rubro-Negro face Red Bull Bragantino on April 2 in the Brasileirão.
Besides the Flamengo idol, Saúl Ñíguez is recovering from surgery on his left ankle, but he is also already doing activities on the grass. The newest member of the medical department is Alex Sandro, who was withdrawn from the Brazil national team due to an injury to his left thigh.
After the FIFA international break, Flamengo hope to have Bruno Henrique available on April 2 to face Red Bull Bragantino. On that occasion, the match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, in the ninth round of the Brasileirão.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Bragantino through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Premiere will broadcast the Brazilian Championship clash.
