Pedro aims to extend Flamengo record as he eyes Intercontinental chance | OneFootball

What is the record Pedro holds with Flamengo's jersey?

Flamengo continues its preparation to face Cruz Azul (MEX) this Wednesday (10), for the Intercontinental Cup. Included in the tournament, Pedro has good numbers in world championships and thus seeks to increase a record with the red-black jersey.

This is because Pedro is the player who has scored the most goals in international championships with Flamengo's jersey. At this moment, the number 9 has already found the net in FIFA tournaments on four occasions, all in the 2022 Club World Cup.

What happened to Pedro?

Pedro suffered a muscle injury in his left thigh during training at CT Ninho do Urubu on November 19. Additionally, the number 9 had already been absent from Flamengo before the injury, as he suffered a fracture in his left forearm. Not surprisingly, the forward missed the final of the Libertadores.

Now, the red-black forward has been progressing in treatment with Flamengo's Medical Department and, therefore, was included by Filipe Luís for the Intercontinental Cup. However, the participation of the number 9 in the competition is still not confirmed, as the club is treating the injury with caution.

What is Flamengo's next match?

With Pedro available, Flamengo debuts in the Intercontinental Cup this Wednesday (10), facing Cruz Azul (MEX). The match takes place at 2 PM (Brasília time), at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, in Qatar, for the quarter-finals of the world championship.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube) and Cazé TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Cruz Azul game.
