Alisson Alves, the Brazilian goalkeeper who has been a key player for Flamengo in recent years, is currently recovering from injury and is not expected to return to action until next season.
The 28-year-old Brazilian international has been one of the most consistent goalkeepers in Brazil's top flight since joining Flamengo in 2015. He has helped the club win three league titles and two Copa Libertadores championships during his time with them.
However, Alisson has now suffered an injury that could sideline him for several months. The precise nature of the injury is unclear, but it is likely to be a significant blow to Flamengo's chances of competing for major honours this season.
Flamengo have already lost their first-choice goalkeeper, Ederson Moraes,Serie A Observation to Manchester City, and will now be counting on young talent such as Matheus Henrique and Diego Carlos to step up in his absence.
Despite the setback, Flamengo remain optimistic about their chances of success this season, and are determined to continue fighting for the title despite the loss of their star goalkeeper. With a strong squad and a talented coach like Jorge Jesus leading the way, there is still plenty of hope for the club ahead.
