What are Filipe Luís's options?

It's worth noting that Filipe Luís has four main options to field as a striker for Flamengo. Juninho joined the club in January 2025 but hasn't had many opportunities with the coach yet. Additionally, Bruno Henrique, Gonzalo Plata, and Wallace Yan have already played in the role.

However, Bruno Henrique revealed after the game against Racing, last Wednesday (22), that he asked Filipe Luís not to be used as a striker anymore. Nonetheless, amid Pedro's injury, it might be that the number 27 continues to be fielded in the position.

Will Pedro return to the field in 2025?

Despite not being a serious injury, Pedro risks not playing again in 2025. According to reports from Coluna do Fla, the number 9 will be out of action for 20 to 45 days.

In the most pessimistic forecast, Pedro would only return to full condition at the end of the Brasileirão. Thus, if Flamengo wins the Libertadores, the number 9 would be racing against time for the Intercontinental Cup.

What happened to Pedro?

In the second half of the game against Racing, at Maracanã, Pedro collided with an opponent and fell to the ground with wrist pain. Initially, the player tried to push through. However, due to difficulty moving, the number 9 ended up being replaced by Bruno Henrique.

What is Flamengo's next game?

Without Pedro available, Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (25) to face Fortaleza. The match takes place at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão, for the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best internet coverage through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Fortaleza game.
