According to information gathered by Coluna do Fla, Leo Nannetti was given a few days off after returning from his commitments with Brazil at the World Cup. After his break, the goalkeeper took part in Flamengo’s senior team activities on Sunday (19) and Monday (20) at CT Ninho do Urubu.

At the moment, Leo Nannetti is Flamengo’s fourth-choice goalkeeper, with Rossi, Andrew, and Dyogo Alves ahead of him on the list. Therefore, according to conversations with people close to the club’s football department, the goalkeeper will return to being the starter for the under-20 team, but whenever necessary, he will be called up to join the senior squad.
