Flamengo's Pedro Resumes Partial Training With Shorter Arm Protection

The club will decide on Saturday's match near kickoff with a view to having him ready before the Nov. 29 Libertadores final.

Overview

  • A Flamengo medical bulletin on Nov. 12 said the striker returned to partial sessions with the squad using a new, shorter immobilization on his right arm.
  • Imaging earlier in the week showed healing progress after a reported non-displaced fracture of the right ulna sustained against Racing in the Libertadores semifinal.
  • The rehabilitation plan advances through no-contact and reduced-impact drills, with a potential move to more intensive group work next week if recovery stays on track.
  • Availability for the league game against Sport on Nov. 15 remains undecided and will be determined close to the match.
  • The current rigid brace is not permitted for competition, and staff intend to switch to a softer bandage-style protection for matches, according to O Globo.
