De volta aos trabalhos após o empate com o Unión La Calera, na terça pela Libertadores, o Flamengo iniciou a preparação para a ida da final do Carioca. Na reapresentação do elenco, as boas notícias ficaram por conta de Rodrigo Caio, Diego Alves e Gerson, que participaram do treinos com os companheiros, e podem voltar às opções de Rogério Ceni. O Rubro-Negro enfrenta o Fluminense, neste sábado às 21h05, no Maracanã. O clássico será sem público.
Rodrigo Caio é quem está há mais tempo afastado dos jogos: não atua desde o 17 de abril, e trata de uma fibrose na coxa direita desde então. O zagueiro só fez três jogos na temporada por conta das seguidas lesões musculares no local.

Tottenham Hotspur supporters will generally be satisfied with their team's progress this season, fifth-placed in the Premier League with ten matches left to play.
The ongoing international break allows clubs to pause and recalibrate, and this will likely have been welcomed by Ange Postecoglou given the chastening 3-0 defeat away to Fulham last time out.
Postecoglou said that qualifying for next season's Champions League group phase is not the be-all and end-all for his squad, instead prioritising growth and collective development.
This is an admirable and prudent approach, but a spot in Europe's elite club competition would certainly be a lift and a mark of progress for supporters and players, also improving the chances of landing the best talent in the summer transfer window.
Spurs' summer transfer targets
According to prominent German outlet BILD – via Sport Witness – Tottenham are set to wage transfer battle with London rivals Chelsea for the transfer of Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah, having already made an approach prior to the winter window.
Both Premier League clubs 'knocked' for the 28-year-old back in December but there was nothing doing, however, Tah is understood to be intrigued by the possibility of a move to England, should a suitor offer Champions League football.
German centre-back Jonathan Tah.
Spurs are well in contention to achieve just that, and given that Chelsea are currently 11th in the league table heading into the business end, 14 points behind Tottenham, Daniel Levy will be confident of winning any race for Tah's signature.
Tah is out of contract in 2025 and, as such, Leverkusen will welcome cheap bids for the player's signature, with Kicker revealing earlier in the campaign that a bid approaching €18m (£15m) might do the trick.
Jonathan Tah's season in numbers
Tah has been an integral member of a Bayer Leverkusen side working absolute wonders under the tutelage of Xabi Alonso this season, undefeated in all competitions, top of the German Bundesliga, into the semi-finals of the DFB Pokal and awaiting West Ham United in the Europa League last-eight.
As per Sofascore, the £46k-per-week titan has started 23 Bundesliga matches this season, keeping nine clean sheets, scoring four goals, completing 97% of his passes, averaging 5.5 ball recoveries and 3.3 clearances per game and succeeding with 70% of his aerial battles.

Considered to be a monstrous physical presence and a confident player with the ball at his feet, the 6 foot 4 star has been described as a "physically strong and very quick" centre-half by former Germany Men's manager Joachim Löw, with this supreme athleticism speaking of shades of Micky van de Ven, who also made the move from Germany to the Premier League last season.
Tah typically plays in a back-three for Die Werkself but is a proven player in a more traditional defence, highlighting the versatility that could be tailor-made for a place in Postecoglou's interchangeable, multi-functioning Lilywhites system.
He'd be perfect for Tottenham, augmenting a defensive group consisting of star defensive axis Van de Ven and Cristian Romero but also nurturing £27m January acquisition Radu Dragusin, aged 21.
With a return to continental competition on the cards next term and a desire to wade deep into the domestic cup competitions, depth is paramount and Tah would be the perfect fit.
Why Jonathan Tah would be perfect for Spurs
Tah has the highest passing accuracy from open play of any athlete in the German top-flight this term at 97%, placing him above even Van de Ven in the Premier League, with the Dutchman completing 95% of his balls for Postecoglou's side.
As per FBref, Tah ranks among the top 10% of centre-backs across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for goals scored, the top 13% for passes attempted per 90 and the top 1% for pass completion, with his elite technical control and natural knack for goalscoring tools that would be well-wielded within Postecoglou's tactical set-up.

Moreover, Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk is considered Tah's most comparable Premier League player, as per Football Transfers, with such a skill set hardly unlikely to succeed down the N17.
Van Dijk has been near indomitable at times this season for Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, thriving at the heart of a resurgent, title-chasing side and restoring a backline that welcomed no transfer additions last summer despite a dismal 2022/23 campaign, also contending with injuries to Andy Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip and shot-stopper Alisson Becker this season.
As per Sofascore, the 32-year-old colossus has been breathtaking in the league, completing 91% of his passes, scoring two goals and supplying two assists, averaging 5.1 ball recoveries and 4.3 clearances per game and coming out on top in a staggering 84% of his aerial battles.
Carabao Cup winner Virgil van Dijk.
He also ranks among the top 8% of positional peers across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for assists, the top 4% for shot-creating actions, the top 4% for passes attempted, the top 10% for pass completion, the top 17% for progressive passes and the top 2% for aerial wins per 90.
Quite simply, Van Dijk is one of the best in the business, and while Klopp and Postecoglou implement different styles of play, both are reliant on innate understanding, progression and fluency.
This is evidenced by the turnaround in fortunes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season since Van de Ven arrived and settled the equilibrium next to Romero.

However, both stars have been sidelined at different intervals this term and this has laid the Lilywhites' fragility bare. This cannot be allowed to resurface and pull the squad back in regression after such promise throughout Postecoglou's maiden campaign.
Once described as a "defensive battleship" by former teammate Christoph Kramer, Tah must be signed, joining the fold and offering his skill set in what would add another layer to the building Spurs machine.

Pakistan have named at least four allrounders, including the 14-year-old Mohammad Shahzad, in their 15-man squad for the Under-19 World Cup in South Africa early next year. The in-form Rohail Nazir will continue to led the side, while 16-year-old quick Naseem Shah, who recently made his Test debut in Australia, also featured in the squad.The squad
Rohail Nazir (capt), Abdul Wahid Bangalzai, Haider Ali, Mohammad Shahzad, Mohammad Harris, Mohammad Huraira, Mohammad Irfan Khan, Abbas Afridi, Fahad Munir, Qasim Akram, Amir Ali, Arish Ali Khan, Amir Khan, Naseem Shah, and Tahir Hussain
“We have planned extensively and tried our best to form a fine team,” Saleem Jaffar, the Pakistan junior team head coach, said at a press conference in Lahore. “Probables selected for the World Cup will give both coach and captain full options to form a balanced side. I hope this team will go good. But whoever is left out shouldn’t be disheartened because they are on a path that will take them to the professional cricket and this isn’t the end of world.”Shahzad, a batting allrounder from Southern Punjab, caught the selectors’ eye at the ongoing Under-16 domestic tournament, where he scored 175 runs in two games and picked up six wickets.”Shahzad is a good package; [he can] bat in the opening slot and bowl at medium pace, so we are also eyeing to tap someone who can be a good prospect in future like [Abdul] Razzaq,” Jaffar said. “This is the cricket that actually take players forward. He is young on the Under-16 circuit and has done really well recently. For us, winning is equally important but at the same time we are also giving them an international feel. This Under-19 circuit is an exciting cricket and such players are the future.”Team management
Ijaz Ahmed (head coach and manager), Rao Iftikhar Anjum (bowling coach), Abdul Majeed (assistant coach), Saboor Ahmad (trainer), Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rasul (physiotherapist), Usman Hashmi (analyst), Emmad Ahmed Hameed (media manager) and Col (retd) Usman Riffat Ansari (security manager)
Aside from Shahzad, the allrounders’ contingent comprises Abbas Afridi, Fahad Munir and Qasim Akram, who made it to the squad on the back of his impressive returns of 296 runs and three wickets and 260 runs and 15 wickets in the PCB Under-19 one-day and three-day tournaments respectively. Akram also made a mark at the recent Emerging Under-19 Asia Cup, and the tours of South Africa and Sri Lanka, where he scored 77 and 124 runs respectively.Three out of the 28 probables – Ammad Butt Jr, Akhtar Shah and Saim Ayub – were not considered for selection because of injuries.The 2020 Under-19 World Cup will be held from January 17, in South Africa. Pakistan, the 2004 and 2006 champions and three-time runners-up, are slotted in Group C along with Bangladesh, Scotland and Zimbabwe in the 16-team competition. They will kick off their campaign against Scotland on January 19 in Potchefstroom.

West Ham United are already preparing to part ways with one of their highest earners this summer, it has emerged, despite there being several games left in the campaign.
West Ham 1-1 Spurs
A 1-1 draw between West Ham and Tottenham felt like two valuable points dropped in their race for Premier League position come the end of the season.
With goals from Brennan Johnson and Kurt Zouma providing the stalemate, both sides will feel that they could have won it in a topsy-turvy second half which ended with a bizarre string of counter attacks in both directions, and a draw suits nobody.
For David Moyes' side, the result leaves them seventh in the top flight, but three points behind Manchester United having played two games more. Meanwhile, the gap between the Hammers and 12th placed Chelsea is just 5 points, with the Blues having two games in hand on their London rivals.

It means that many West Ham fans will see the results as a missed opportunity, with the chance to put some daylight between themselves and their fellow European hopefuls squandered.
No matter how the campaign finishes, however, summer business is already being discussed, and a major decision has been made.
Hammers high earner definitely leaving this summer
An unused substitute in the 1-1 draw on Tuesday night, a decision has reportedly already been made on Kalvin Phillips' long-term West Ham future. The midfielder joined on loan from Manchester City in January, but has endured a horrible spell so far, during which time he has seen red and conceded a penalty.
David Moyes backed the one time England player of the year to succeed after he was spotted swearing at a fan after the 4-3 defeat to Newcastle.

It could have major ramifications come this summer.
ByBen Browning Apr 2, 2024
"Kalvin Phillips is a really good player, an international player, an excellent footballer and I do believe we can still make something out of the time we’ve got left with him here," Moyes explained before the draw with Spurs.
Beyond this summer, however, the future looks bleak. As per Football Insider, West Ham have already decided that they 'will not' make the loan spell permanent. The club shelled out a reported £3m to take him on loan in January, and agreed to cover his £140,000 per week wages for the duration of the loan spell. However, with Manchester City reportedly wanting around £30m to part ways with Phillips this summer, the east Londoners are set to look elsewhere.

To make matters worse for Phillips, the report adds that he will not be selected for England's EURO 2024 squad as a result of his struggles, while Manchester City are keen to cash in on him this summer and cut their losses after the Englishman has managed just six appearances in 18 months under Pep Guardiola.
Na noite desta sexta-feira (11), a torcida do Palmeiras se mobilizou nas redes sociais com a hashtag #FicaZaneratto. A iniciativa foi originada pela proximidade do encerramento do contrato da atacante Bia Zaneratto, que está em sua segunda passagem pelo clube. A atleta de 27 anos jogou pelo Verdão entre os meses de fevereiro e julho de 2020 e retornou sob empréstimo cedido pelo time chinês Wuhan Xinjiyuan.

New Zealand coach also weighed in on the worrisome depletion of pace-bowling resources in his squad due to injury

Neil Wagner roars in celebration after dismissing Steve Smith•Associated Press
New Zealand have been left to pick up the pieces from a heavy defeat in Perth as they aim to plot a way back into the series ahead of Boxing Day. The visitors, however, were able to take one significant success from a torrid four days in the western Australian heat after bringing a plan together to quell Steven Smith.That Australia earned victory without a major contribution from Smith may have been encouraging for them, but New Zealand had the satisfaction of twice claiming him with smart use of the short ball as he fell for 43 and 16, meaning he has yet to score a Test fifty this season. That could easily come back to bite New Zealand in the next few weeks but, for now, it’s a success many other teams have failed to pull off.ALSO READ: Starc-struck New Zealand slump to heavy defeatThey showed their hand at the World Cup earlier this year when Smith was spectacularly caught at leg gully by Martin Guptill. (The plan also worked in Christchurch back in 2016.) In Perth, he picked out leg gully again in the first innings before pulling to deep square-leg in the second, both times off Neil Wagner.”Any time you get Steve Smith out for less than his average is probably a good thing but it’s only one match and I know he was in the nets every day,” New Zealand coach Gary Stead said. “He’ll try and work out ways to combat what we do and we have to have other plans if that doesn’t work for us.”Having plans is one thing but you have to execute them over a long period and one thing I’m proud of is our guys stuck at plans we thought were right; with Steve, it worked in particular. If you look at the World Cup as well, we tried that tactic, so I suspect we’ll be discussing [that plan] and other ones if he is able to handle, but certainly something I think we’ll keep pursuing.”Wagner’s success against Smith was part of a mammoth effort in which he sent down 60 overs, the most by a pace bowler in a single Test for more than four years, in temperatures over 40-degree C, as he carried a huge burden after Lockie Ferguson suffered a calf strain on the opening day, which has ruled him out of the tour.Ferguson faces up to six weeks on the sidelines, which makes him doubtful for the start of India’s visit to New Zealand, starting with the T20Is towards the end of January. A replacement will be confirmed on Tuesday as the squad heads to Melbourne to regroup. Candidates for a call-up include the uncapped pair of Scott Kuggeleijn and Kyle Jamieson, who both played for New Zealand A against England last month, and the experienced Hamish Bennett.However, they are likely to have Trent Boult available after a conservative approach was taken with him to avoid the risk of his side strain recurring. New Zealand have two days of match practice against a Victoria XI ahead of the second Test.”We weren’t prepared to take a chance given the length of the season and what’s still to come,” Stead said. “We weighted up the short-term pain if he was re-injured and the long-term gain of what’s coming up.”Tim Southee gets applauded by his teammates after his five-wicket haul•Getty Images
The injury to Ferguson means New Zealand have lost one potential point of difference in their attack with someone who can bowl above 145kph and there aren’t any like-for-like replacements available.”I can’t promise you that I can pluck out guys that can bowl 150kph from New Zealand and bring them over here because I’m not sure we necessarily have them that are fit and available,” Stead said. “We’ll consider everything we’ve got but there’s still some positives for us that we can go to Melbourne with and work out how to put Australia under pressure.”I thought Tim Southee and Neil Wagner were outstanding in the job they did. We know we aren’t the fastest attack in the world but I think the pressure they still managed to apply was significant for us. We didn’t get the result we wanted but their performances were lion-hearted.”Despite being bundled for 166 and 171 – with Ross Taylor the only batsman to pass fifty – Stead was confident there would not be any lingering damage to confidence. The pitch for Boxing Day is an unknown factor at the moment following the abandonment of the Sheffield Shield match between Victoria and Western Australia, with a chance that will lead to a cautious approach by the ground staff.”There’s no excuses; we didn’t adapt as well as we hoped to,” Stead said. “I’m not sure Melbourne and Sydney will have the same extremities of pitch conditions; it will be more like what we are used to. We don’t make knee-jerk reactions. Australia played very well, we know they are very hard to beat in these conditions but we also have an experienced squad who won’t panic. We know we can be better.”
Um dos destaques do futebol sul-americano na temporada, o atacante Miguel Borja não voltará ao Palmeiras. Emprestado ao Júnior Barranquilla até o final de junho, o centroavante vive boa fase e, por isso, o clube colombiano efetuará a compra de 50% dos direitos econômicos do jogador, pelo valor de 4,5 milhões de dólares (aproximadamente 22,5 milhões, na cotação atual).

Anteriormente, o Junior, segundo o agente do jogador, ofereceu 3 milhões de dólares, mas a proposta foi rejeitada pelo Verdão. Assim, segundo apurou o LANCE!/NOSSO PALESTRA, os colombianos aceitaram o desejo alviverde e notificaram o clube brasileiro de que irão ativar a cláusula de compra prevista em contrato. Com isso, os clubes precisam, apenas, chegar a um acordo sobre os prazos para o pagamento.
Deste modo, Miguel Borja deixará o Palmeiras em definitivo. A saída do atacante será um importante fator para as contas palestrinas em 2021, dado que o time não vendeu o atacante Dudu e tampouco se classificou para as quartas da Copa do Brasil, como previsto no orçamento no início da temporada.
