WHAT IS MATHEUS GONÇALVES' SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Matheus Gonçalves was very close to leaving Flamengo for Cruzeiro. At the time, the player's staff had already reached an agreement with Pedro Lourenço, president of the SAF of the Minas Gerais team, but the Rubro-Negro decided not to release the midfielder.

During this period, Matheus Gonçalves did not have many opportunities with Filipe Luís and, as a result, asked to play for Flamengo's under-20 team. Being part of the squad, the athlete put on a 'show' in the matches and returned to the professional roster.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

Even while positioning himself for the Under-20 World Cup, Matheus Gonçalves is expected to remain available to coach Filipe Luís for the upcoming commitments of the season. Thus, the midfielder has chances to be included for the match against Mirassol, in the 19th round of the Brasileirão.

The match kicks off at 6:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match with live coverage by reporters Leo José and Rodrigo Lima on YouTube. Finally, the match will be broadcast via pay-per-view on Premiere.
