Pulgar and squad train with the Flamengo group in preparation for the Carioca final | Flamengo

Following protocol, Pulgar did his first training with the Flamengo group. The Chilean midfielder showed muscle wear in his right quadriceps and was monitored during the week until he participated normally in the activity. Thus, Flamengo can have maximum strength for Carioca’s first match, on Saturday, against Nova Iguaçu.

Pulgar went to the field in all training sessions this week, but until this Thursday, the activities were carried out separately. This afternoon’s training was the first under the command of Tite’s technical committee in preparation for the final. On Friday, the forecast is the same.

Arthur Muhlenberg responds: Should Flamengo spare players for their Libertadores debut?

Thursday’s training session was also attended by the players who were called up: Fabrício Bruno, Ayrton Lucas, Arrascaeta, De la Cruz, Viña and Varela. The full-back, who played for Uruguay, was the first to return to Brazil, as he was released from Uruguay’s last friendly to attend the birth of his daughter.

The absence from training was Wesley’s responsibility. The full-back was diagnosed with an injury to his right adductor and began medical treatment. Just like on Wednesday, Gerson went to the field and took a few laps around the Ninho do Urubu lawn.

The expectation for Gerson’s return to games is estimated between the end of April and the beginning of May. That is, about four more weeks.
