After 17 days out of the Flamengo team due to a swollen knee, Bruno Henrique is back. And at an important moment. This Thursday, before Independiente del Valle, the team resumes the dispute for the Libertadores and hopes that the attacker will repeat the actions that made him stand out before the pandemic.

As he is fully recovered, and even scored in a training match on Monday, the expectation is that Bruno Henrique can start the match and prove his importance again. When they left the team, in the victory against Santos, Flamengo was not in a good moment, nor was the forward, who has not scored in eight games.
– I’m very confident in this round and I’m focused on getting back to playing well. It is always good to be available to the teacher, regardless of whether you start playing or not. The important thing is that we are all focused on these two games that we will have in Ecuador. Bringing these two victories to Rio will be paramount for Flamengo after the Libertadores, said Bruno Henrique, in an interview with the official Flamengo website.
Independiente del Valle brings good memories to Bruno Henrique. In the match played in Ecuador for the Recopa, he made one of his best performances in 2020 and scored a goal in a 2-2 draw.

Despite the goal, Bruno Henrique could not celebrate. On the play, after hitting the ball on goalkeeper Pinos, he was hit and had to be taken out of the ambulance stadium for the test. The forward missed the team in the second leg, in Maracana, in which Flamengo won 3-0 and won the title.
Flamengo and Del Valle will meet this Thursday, at 9:00 p.m. (Brasilia time), at the Casa Blanca stadium of LDU. Both teams lead Group A of the Libertadores with six points in the first two rounds.
