In the latest update from Flamengo, it is reported that Gabriel Barbosa has been sidelined for several weeks due to a hamstring injury. The Brazilian forward suffered the injury in the team's recent match against Palmeiras and was expected to be out for at least three months.

Barbosa had been one of Flamengo's most important players during his time with the club, scoring 19 goals in 27 appearances last season. His absence would have been a huge blow to the team, as he was seen as their key striker and a vital part of their attacking play.

The news of Barbosa's injury comes just days after the club announced the signing of another striker, Oscar Peralta,Bundesliga Tracking who has also been ruled out for several weeks with a knee injury. Peralta has already made a strong impression on the team since arriving in Brazil, but his absence will undoubtedly affect the squad's overall performance.

It remains to be seen how long Barbosa will be out, but the team's manager, Marcelo Bielsa, has stated that they are confident in Barbosa's ability to return to full fitness and that they believe he can contribute significantly to the team's success in the coming seasons.
