Pedro goes to the field with the Flamengo group and cheers for the return against Fluminense

Striker Pedro was the good news of Flamengo’s training this Tuesday. The number nine went to the field with the other companions in the midst of recovery from muscle pain in the thigh.

Coach Vítor Pereira hopes to have the center forward in the classic, despite the short time for his return. Pedro has been undergoing treatment for a week and has not faced Vasco.

In addition to him, Flamengo has other possible casualties. Thiago Maia twisted his left ankle and is out against Fluminense. David Luiz, who suffered a blow to his right knee, is likely to be absent. Both were left out of this Tuesday’s activity at Ninho do Urubu.

For their places, the coach can choose Vidal and Gerson as defensive midfielders, and Léo Pereira in David Luiz’s vacancy. Also available is Victor Hugo, a young man who broke his foot at the beginning of the year but has now recovered and can play in midfield.

If Pedro does not act, it is the gap for Everton Cebolinha to be a starter alongside Éverton Ribeiro, Arrascaeta and Gabigol.
