Flamengo has been optimistic about the recovery of striker Pedro for the final stretch of the Brazilian Championship and Libertadores. The center forward, who is recovering from a fracture in his right forearm, took an important step in the rehabilitation process.
According to information obtained by ESPN, Pedro returned to training on the field, albeit in a controlled manner. The player still has his arm immobilized and must remain that way for an indefinite period of time, but being active is seen as a significant advance.
Since the injury was confirmed at the end of October, the attacker had only been carrying out internal work, focused on strength and physical conditioning exercises. Now, with the reduction of pain in the affected region, the medical department understands that the player responds well to treatment and is progressing as planned.

Will Pedro play in the Libertadores final?
Pedro’s evolution generates hope within the club, especially given the proximity of the Libertadores final, scheduled for November 29th, in Lima, Peru, against Palmeiras. Internally, there is optimism that the center forward could be available on the bench for the decision.
The technical committee and the medical department work cautiously, prioritizing the athlete’s full recovery.
The expectation is that the striker will gradually increase his participation in training in the coming weeks, moving from light activities to working with the ball, as the consolidation of the fracture progresses.
Pedro’s performance in the season
Pedro is considered a key player at Flamengo and one of the main scorers in Brazilian football this season. In 2025, the number 9 has 15 goals and seven assists in 37 games.
In addition to his efficiency in finishing, the attacker is fundamental in constructing plays and moving within the area, offering tactical alternatives to the team.
