Flamengo’s injury crisis continues to deepen as defender Leo Pereira has been ruled out of Sunday’s match against Corinthians after suffering a left knee sprain. The club announced the news on Saturday, confirming that Pereira sustained the injury during the match against Bahia. The news further complicates matters for Flamengo, who are already dealing with a significant number of injuries. Notably, players like Vinicius and Everton Cebolinha are sidelined for the remainder of 2024, while other key players like Varela, Pedro, Gabigol, Arrascaeta, De La Cruz, and Michael have also missed time due to injuries throughout August. This mounting injury list has undoubtedly added to the pressure on Flamengo’s manager as they prepare for a crucial upcoming schedule.
