When will Pedro be back for Flamengo? Striker’s recovery timeline | OneFootball

Pedro left during the second half of the Flamengo vs Racing (ARG) match

Flamengo will not have Pedro for the return match against Racing (ARG) in the Libertadores. However, the absence will not be just next Wednesday (29). Coluna do Fla has learned that the player might not play again in 2025 after a forearm fracture.

According to information obtained by Coluna's report, Pedro will be out of action for 20 to 45 days. In the most pessimistic forecast, the striker would only return to full condition at the end of the Brasileirão. Thus, if Flamengo wins the Libertadores, the number 9 would race against time for the Intercontinental Cup.

Additionally, Pedro is a definite absence from the Brazilian National Team's call-up list, which will be announced on the 3rd. The Flamengo forward was expected to appear on Carlo Ancelotti's list after standing out in the recent rounds of the Brasileirão.

WHAT HAPPENED TO PEDRO?

In the second half of the match against Racing at Maracanã, Pedro collided with an opponent and fell on the field. Initially, the player tried to continue playing. However, due to difficulty moving, he was replaced by Bruno Henrique.

This Thursday (23), Flamengo reported that the issue was a non-displaced fracture in the right ulna. “The athlete has started treatment and will keep his arm immobilized for the next few days. The immobilization, which extends above the elbow, is necessary to prevent rotation of the fractured bone and ensure proper healing of the injury,” stated Fla.

WHO WILL PLAY IN PEDRO'S PLACE?

Without Pedro and with Bruno Henrique wanting to return to the wing, Filipe Luís will have to brainstorm to decide who will be the team's forward this Saturday (25) against Fortaleza, for the 30th round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) at Castelão.
