Flamengo v Santos: Bruno Henrique could play his final match in 2025 | OneFootball

CBF may request that Bruno Henrique's punishment be extended to the Libertadores

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) has set the date for the new trial of Bruno Henrique. Thus, the Flamengo striker will have his appeal judged by the STJD next Monday (10).

Currently, Bruno Henrique is playing under a suspensive effect. As a result, the number 27 will remain available for Flamengo in the match against Santos on Sunday (06). However, the striker could end up missing the remainder of the Brasileirão season.

It is worth remembering that the STJD Plenary was supposed to judge the case last Thursday (30). However, the session was postponed after the episodes of violence in Rio de Janeiro.

What happened?

In summary, the First Disciplinary Commission of the STJD punished Bruno Henrique on September 4 of this year. As a result, the Flamengo striker would be suspended for 12 matches in Brazilian football, in addition to receiving a fine of R$ 60,000.

However, the defense of Bruno Henrique and the legal department of Flamengo appealed the initial STJD decision. Thus, the number 27 obtained a suspensive effect and secured his presence in club matches while there is no final decision.

Last game for Bruno Henrique?

As he served an automatic suspension due to accumulation of yellow cards in the match against São Paulo, the number 27 did not even travel with the Flamengo squad. However, against Santos on Sunday (09), the striker will be able to play.

However, this could be Bruno Henrique's last game for Flamengo this season. That is, if the STJD removes the suspensive effect to force the number 27 to serve the 12-match suspension.

Finally, since Bruno Henrique will be judged in the final instance, the CBF may request the extension of the punishment to other countries. As a result, the striker could still miss the Libertadores final against Palmeiras on November 29.

What is Flamengo's next match?

With Bruno Henrique available, Flamengo faces Santos on Sunday (09), in a match valid for the 33rd round of the Brasileirão. The teams will face off at Maracanã, starting at 6:30 pm (Brasília time).
