Urubunauts! Flamengo use galactic device to heal injured players | OneFootball

Flamengo’s medical department has three players

Flamengo had 79 matches on its 2025 schedule. So, in 2026, the Most Beloved decided to look for a way to help athletes who occasionally got injured recover. As a result, Mengão bought the Anti-Gravity Treadmill.

This is the name of the device nicknamed the “NASA machine.” Professionals such as Cristiano Ronaldo have already used similar equipment models. Thus, the red-and-black club’s purchase cost around R$ 500,000 and is now at Ninho do Urubu.

But what is the Anti-Gravity Treadmill?

The NASA machine has the shape and function of a treadmill. However, the device is recommended for situations such as an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, muscle injury, and tendinitis in general.

“You can rehabilitate the athlete and get them back faster by starting running work with controlled weight. It’s a belt fastened around the waist, and the bag underneath fills with air, creating pressure capable of reducing gravity,” highlighted Fernando Sassaki, head of Flamengo’s medical department.

Who at Flamengo is in the medical department?

The Most Beloved currently has three players under medical care. Saúl Ñíguez is recovering from ankle surgery, Alex Sandro from a thigh injury, and Bruno Henrique from pubic pain. Of these cases, only the Spanish midfielder needs the technological equipment.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With a chance of having Bruno Henrique available, Flamengo is waiting for the end of the FIFA international break to face Bragantino on April 2. On that occasion, the ball starts rolling at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, in the ninth round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Bragantino through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão clash.
