Pedro progresses and trains with Flamengo’s group

Striker Pedro continues to progress in his recovery from a fracture in his right forearm. According to Flamengo, the number 9 is in the ‘final stage’ of recovery. He started partial training with the group this morning at Ninho do Urubu, using a new, shorter immobilization. UOL had previously reported that Flamengo already has a sling ready in case he needs to play with an immobilized arm, pending approval from the referees for each match. There is great optimism that Pedro will recover before the Libertadores final on November 29th in Lima, Peru, against Palmeiras.
