Pedro set for Intercontinental? Flamengo striker gives update | OneFootball

Pedro did not rule out presence at the World Cup on December 10

Recovering from a broken arm and a thigh muscle injury, Pedro is not expected to play again in 2025. However, the forward has not lost hope of strengthening the team in the Intercontinental Cup on December 10 against Cruz Azul (MEX). In an interview, the number 9 shared that he is working to be available for Filipe Luís.

“I am doing everything to be at the World Cup. I hope to be there with my teammates. It was a tough injury to the thigh, but I am working hard to, God willing, be there,” said Pedro in an interview with FlamengoTV during a celebration on the electric trio held this Sunday (30).

WHAT HAPPENED TO PEDRO?

On October 22, Pedro left the field during the match against Racing (ARG) with a broken arm after a collision with an opposing player in the semi-final of the Libertadores. When the forward was in the final stages of recovery from this issue, he suffered another injury, this time to his thigh, during training.

As a result, Pedro missed the final of the Libertadores against Palmeiras. Even so, the player traveled with the team to Lima, Peru, and participated in the award ceremony, receiving a medal and lifting the trophy. He also attended the celebration this Sunday (30) on the electric trio in Rio de Janeiro.

IS THERE MORE CELEBRATION, PEDRO?

Still not fit to play, Pedro is expected to be at Maracanã next Wednesday (03) when Flamengo faces Ceará in the penultimate round of the Brasileirão. In case of victory, Mengão will secure their ninth title in the competition. The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with full coverage by Coluna do Fla.
