By Friday, the “medical department” topic was already on the rise. Flamengo’s health and high performance manager, Dr. Márcio Tannure, gave an interview, responded about the high number of injuries this year and defended the work carried out by the club and so praised last season.
The reaction of many fans on social media was annoying. Within the club there were also people who were not convinced by the explanations. Tannure himself said in the interview that he recently made changes to the medical department because “he was not satisfied.”
Gabigol is one of the cases of a player who had problems in series after the return of competitions. At the end of September, in Ecuador, a right thigh injury. Then, the most serious: with a single shot, he sprained his ankle and was in treatment for more than a month. Finally, the right thigh again, in the match against São Paulo, in Maracanã.
After returning from competitions, Gabigol was in 19 of the 37 games played by Flamengo. The gunner’s job is not limited to the Nest. Since 2019, she has been carrying out prevention activities at home. He recently changed private physical therapists, who was appointed by Tannure.
Gabigol’s line-up against Racing is in doubt due to the isokinetic tests carried out. They showed muscle imbalance.

Expert Says Prudence Is Important To Avoid Further Injury
The ge consulted Amir Murcio on the matter, who worked for eight years with the Brazilian women’s team. For him, in cases like that of Gabigol, who had consecutive injuries, the probability that athletes have a muscular imbalance is greater.
Another who had this problem was forward Pedro Rocha. For Amir Murcio, the players themselves often have a hard time accepting that there is a problem.
– When injuries happen, add up, don’t train and play for a while. When it returns, the muscles are weaker, less prepared, less able to contract. This creates an increased risk of injury. The diagnosis of imbalance is important, although sometimes the athlete does not feel anything and thinks that he has nothing. Internally, this can even become a problem, said the physical therapist.

The long period of inactivity during the height of the pandemic and the marathon of games after the resumption of competitions added to the problems, according to Amir Murcio.
– As much as the vast majority of players did preventive work, intense activities with the ball were not being carried out. With the return of competitions, the demand was very high and overloaded the muscles. Next year, due to the short rest period, demand will remain high. That is why prudence is important.
For Tuesday’s game against Racing, Flamengo awaits the return of two players who were in the medical department: Pedro and Rodrigo Caio.
The defender, like Gabigol, had trouble coming back. When he was in the national team, he suffered knee pain. When he was in the final stretch of reconditioning to become a relative again, he had a calf injury.
