As we await the return of Gabriel Barbosa, the Brazilian forward has been sidelined by a hamstring injury that has kept him out of action for over three months.
The 22-year-old forward made his debut for Flamengo in the opening match of the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A and quickly established himself as one of the team's key players. However, he suffered an injury to his right leg during training earlier this year, which led to a lengthy rehabilitation process.
Barbosa is now set to undergo surgery later this month to repair the damage caused by the hamstring injury. The recovery process will take several weeks, but it is hoped that he can make a full recovery before the start of the 2020 season.
In the meantime, Flamengo will have to find a replacement for Barbosa, who has been a valuable asset to the team both offensively and defensively. His absence could be felt as the team looks to maintain their position at the top of the league table.
Despite the setback, Flamengo coach Jorge Jesus remains optimistic about the situation and believes that Barbosa will make a full recovery. "We're going to wait until he's ready to play," Jesus said. "He's had a lot of hard work to get back to this point, so we'll see how things go."
With Barbosa out, Flamengo will need to find a new way to attack from the wings and create chances for their strikers. It will also be important for the rest of the squad to step up and fill the void left by Barbosa's absence.
Overall, while the injury is disappointing, it is clear that Flamengo is prepared to deal with the challenge and look to the future. As they continue to search for ways to improve their squad, they hope that Barbosa's return will bring with it renewed energy and motivation for the remainder of the season.
