What message did Saúl send to Flamengo’s fans?

Saúl has not yet participated in Flamengo’s pre-season, as he is still recovering from a heel injury. For this reason, the midfielder made a point of sending a message to the Rubro-Negro fans on social media.

“As you know, I underwent surgery two weeks ago. Now I’m in the rehabilitation phase, training little by little and following the advice of the best professionals. I hope to be back on the pitch very soon. I’ll be returning to Brazil soon. Thank you for all the messages,” he said.

Why did Saúl undergo surgery?

Saúl began experiencing heel pain towards the end of the 2025 season. However, the midfielder opted for conservative treatment in order to play in the decisive matches of the Libertadores and the Brasileirão.

Thus, at the end of the season, Saúl spoke with the Medical Department of Flamengo and together they decided to proceed with heel surgery. The player, therefore, underwent the procedure in Spain and has already started treatment to return to the pitch.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Despite the absence of Saúl, Flamengo is focusing its attention on the classic against Fluminense, on Sunday (25th), for the fourth round of the Campeonato Carioca. The match is scheduled for 6pm (Brasília time), with broadcast on Premiere, via pay-per-view.
