Flamengo’s squad continues its preseason training camp in Portugal, focusing on the second half of the 2026 season. After drawing 2-2 with River Plate (ARG) in their first friendly on European soil last Friday (03), the Rubro-Negro received unwanted news.

In short, Daniel Sales, a young player who is part of Flamengo’s first-team squad during the training camp in Portugal, has had an injury confirmed. As a result, according to Coluna do Fla’s reporting team, which is following the club directly from Europe, the right back will miss the team’s upcoming friendlies.

What happened?

It is worth remembering that Daniel Sales came on against River Plate in the 22nd minute of the second half. However, the player got injured on his own in the 47th minute. On that occasion, the right back replaced Emerson Royal, but felt muscle pain in his right leg.

Did Flamengo comment?

Yes! Early on Monday morning (06), Flamengo released a medical report with information on Daniel Sales’ situation. According to the club, the right back is already receiving treatment for the injury with Flamengo’s Medical Department.

During the second half of the match between Flamengo and River Plate last Friday (03), right back Daniel Sales reported muscle pain. On Saturday (04), the athlete underwent an MRI scan, which detected an injury to the adductor muscle of his left thigh. The athlete has already begun treatment with the club’s Medical Department and remains with the squad in Portugal.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Without Daniel Sales, Flamengo return to the field this Wednesday (08) to face Lausanne Sports (SUI) in the second friendly of the training camp. In short, kickoff is at 4:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Algarve Stadium in Portugal.

As usual, Coluna do Fla is following every detail of Flamengo’s training camp and friendlies in Portugal. With on-site coverage from Rock Hudson and Simon Lédo, the website, social media, and YouTube channel are keeping track of every step of the Most Beloved.

What is Flamengo’s training camp schedule?

After facing River Plate and Lausanne Sports, Flamengo will wrap up their friendlies in Portugal against Benfica (POR) next Saturday (11), starting at 3:30 p.m. (Brasília time). However, after returning to Brazil, the Most Beloved will have one more “unofficial” commitment.

That is because Flamengo confirmed a friendly in the Federal District on July 17 against Olimpia (PAR). The match will take place at Mané Garrincha Stadium starting at 8 p.m. (Brasília time). The game is part of the Rubro-Negro’s training camp schedule and will be the team’s final commitment before the resumption of official competitions in the second half of 2026.

When does Flamengo officially return to action?

Finally, Flamengo will only return to the field on July 22. On that occasion, the Most Beloved will face Chapecoense in a match valid for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. In addition, the clash will be played away from home at Arena Condá.
