Pedro’s goals and hits gave rise to the call-up of the Brazilian team and ended up giving Flamengo an extra headache. The club runs the risk of not having its center forward and Everton Ribeiro, another who is on Tite’s list, in addition to Isla de Chile, in the two matches of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil, against São Paul. The matches are played on the 11th in Maracanã and on the 18th in Morumbi.

According to the National Team’s schedule, the duo will begin training at the Comary Farm, in Teresópolis, next Monday. The Flamengo board, however, intends to try, through President Rodolfo Landim, that CBF free them to act only on Thursday, after the first match against São Paulo.
The tendency is for the request to be denied, as it would make it difficult for the team to prepare. Not even the good relationship between Landim and Rogério Caboclo, president of CBF, should not work. The two had two recent meetings, on September 10 and October 20, to discuss “broad agendas.”
The mission, then, will be to make available to Everton Ribeiro and Pedro for the second leg against São Paulo, in Morumbi. After facing Uruguay, on the 17th, the National Team returns to Brazil on a chartered flight shortly after departure, and the Flamengo duo will land directly in the capital of São Paulo and go to the hotel.
The support of the board and the technical committee is that if they are used in the game against Uruguay, they will not stay on the field for long. That’s what happened to Everton Ribeiro, for example, in the match against Peru, when they came back and faced Bragantino 48 hours later.

Yet another hypothesis is raised. As Tite did not summon Neymar to call Pedro, if the PSG star recovers in time to play in the match against Uruguay, some athlete will have to stay out of the relationship.
In addition to Pedro and Everton, Flamengo summoned Maurício Isla for the Chilean squad, which will face Peru, in Santiago, and Venezuela, away from home. The match against the Venezuelans is also scheduled for the 17th, but the return trip is more tiring and the full-back will be re-evaluated if he arrives on time.

Arrascaeta’s absence from Uruguay’s final roster after being called up was a great relief for Flamengo. The midfielder continues treatment after knee pain and does light work with physiotherapists on the field. The expectation is to get it back in time to play the quarterfinals.
In the offensive sector, Flamengo is close to gaining weight: Gabigol. Jersey 9 is recovering from an ankle injury and reconditioning to be able to reconnect. The trend is for him to replace Pedro against São Paulo.
