According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the return timeline will depend on the forward's recovery, but Cebolinha will not be back before three weeks. The number 11 will miss both matches against Racing (ARG) in the semifinals of the Libertadores.

How did Cebolinha get injured?

The iliopsoas, a hip muscle injury, of Cebolinha occurred on Wednesday (15). Flamengo was leading Botafogo 2-0 on Engenhão's synthetic field when the red-black number 11 stepped on Santiago Rodríguez from the home team and felt the pain.

The iliopsoas is the fifth confirmed injury for Everton Cebolinha this season. Among the left winger's physical issues are calf problems and muscle strains in the thigh.

Cebolinha has only 33 games, four goals, and two assists. However, the forward has been a starter only 16 times and has just 1,254 minutes. Thus, the left winger ranks 11th on the list of most active players in the squad.

What is Flamengo's next game?

In the absence of Everton Cebolinha, Flamengo plays a 'final' against Palmeiras this Sunday (19) starting at 4 PM (Brasília time). The match takes on a decisive tone as the leaders of the Brasileirão face off in the 29th round.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best internet coverage through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast Flamengo vs. Palmeiras.
