Make or break? Michael aims to prove himself at Flamengo after bench spell | OneFootball

Michael does not have a guaranteed spot at Flamengo for 2026

Among the Flamengo players facing Mirassol before heading to Qatar to join the main squad for the Intercontinental, Michael is the one who 'stands out the most'. With no room under Filipe Luís, the forward is once again given a chance to start this Saturday (06), after six months.

Evertton Araújo and Wallace Yan have earned more minutes under Filipe Luís, and Dyogo Alves remains the third-choice goalkeeper. Michael, on the other hand, 'has dropped in the hierarchy' and has barely received opportunities in recent months.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME MICHAEL STARTED A MATCH?

The last time Michael started a match was in the 1-0 victory over Deportivo Táchira (VEN) at Maracanã, during the final round of the Libertadores group stage, on May 28. Since then, the number 30 has accumulated 107 minutes across four Flamengo matches throughout the second half of the year.

WILL MICHAEL STAY AT FLAMENGO IN 2026?

Below-par performances have put Michael on the list of possible transfers, and his future at Flamengo for next season is still undecided. Throughout 2025, the forward played in 29 matches, scoring two goals and providing four assists.

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS OF MIRASSOL vs FLAMENGO?

With Michael available, Flamengo visits Mirassol at 6:30 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday (06). The match will be played at Estádio Maião, for the 38th and final round of the Brasileirão. The match will be streamed live on Prime Video.
