The forward has been sidelined from the red-and-black team due to pubalgia, a problem that has already kept him out of the team's last three matches. He has not played since the defeat to Lanús, from Argentina, in the Recopa Sudamericana.

According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Bruno Henrique will continue treatment and is only expected to return to the pitch after the break for the FIFA international window. This way, he would also miss the matches against Remo and Corinthians.

At 35 years old, Bruno Henrique has played 9 matches and scored 2 goals for Flamengo in the 2026 season, starting most games on the bench.
