A fracture rules Germano out for 81 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Flamengo will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Jorge Carrascal keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Flamengo may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Whatever happens, Flamengo do not lose
11 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

A new deal for the man in the dugout, and the clearest thing a board can say without calling a press conference about it. Stability is cheap to promise and expensive to deliver.

Vitão was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.88. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Flamengo promote Leão from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Leão has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
