Antes de viajar, o técnico Tite fez apenas uma mudança no time que venceu o Palestino por 2 a 0 no Maracanã. O zagueiro Fabrício Bruno voltou ao time titular, no lugar do Léo Ortiz, no treino realizado na manhã deste sábado (13) no Ninho do Urubu.
O provável time do Flamengo que vai começar a partida contra o Atlético-GO é o seguinte: Rossi; Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, De La Cruz, Arrascaeta; Cebolinha, Luiz Araújo e Pedro.

O meia Gerson foi relacionado para a partida e pode voltar aos gramados após dois meses. No dia 1º de março, o mesmo passou por um procedimento de pieloplastia para correção de uma estenose congênita do ureter. A previsão era para que o atleta voltasse entre o final de abril e início de maio, porém o meia voltou muito antes do esperado e impressionou muito a comissão técnica.
O atacante Carlinhos, recém-contratado do Nova Iguaçu, também vai estar à disposição do Tite e pode ser uma boa alternativa no segundo tempo contra o Atlético-GO.

Lionesses star Alex Greenwood has put pen to paper on a new contract at Manchester City. The 32-year-old has signed an extension that will keep her at the club until 2027 and says she has "unfinished business" with the Cityzens. Greenwood was into the final year of her existing deal but has now committed her future to the club after a strong start to the new WSL campaign.
Man City handed Greenwood boost
Greenwood's new contract is a big boost to Manchester City as she is a key player for club and country. The City captain has played 152 games for the club since joining from Lyon in 2020, winning the Women's FA Cup and the League Cup in that time. Greenwood was also part of the Lionesses' Euro 2025-winning squad, starting all of England's six matches in the tournament in Switzerland, and picking up her second European Championship title.

She told the club's media: "I’m really happy to stay here, it’s the club I love and the club I want to be successful at and I’m really happy to be here for another two more [years]. Personally, I have so much unfinished business to be done, and I love this football club. It feels like home to me now and I feel this is where I belong and am meant to be.
"I’m really excited for what’s to come. I’m excited by the players, the new manager. And the start has been really positive, but I know there’s still so much more to come from this team. I would love nothing more than to lift more silverware at this football club."
Therese Sjogran, Manchester City’s Director of Football, said: "We’re absolutely delighted that Alex has signed a new deal with the club. It’s difficult to put into words how important she is on and off the pitch, and I know my respect and admiration for her as a player and person is shared by everyone at City. We’re excited by the direction this team is going in this season and beyond, and Alex is central to those ambition."
City leading the way in 2025-26
Manchester City have enjoyed a strong start to the new Women's Super League season and currently sit in top spot after eight games played, one point clear of defending champions Chelsea. Greenwood is yet to win the WSL in her career but admits she's gunning for the title this year.
She told the club's media: "As much as I’ve played for lots of years and I’ve experienced so much in my career, I’m still learning too as a captain and as a player. I’m someone who will always look at myself first before I give advice to anyone else. I think the group is exciting and that’s another reason why I’m so happy to stay here. We’ve got so much potential and the young players coming through are so exciting and they keep you on your toes to say the least.
"I really don’t believe we can’t not do it and that’s why I want to be here. I want to do it because I think the club deserves it.The team deserves it, but there’s one thing deserving it and another doing it and I do genuinely believe we can do that. I’m so positive about this team. We have short-term and long-term goals as a team, I do individually. For me personally, I’ll be lying if I didn’t say I really want to win the league with this club."

Getty Images SportGreenwood sidelined through injury
Greenwood is currently sidelined through injury after picking up a problem during City's win over West Ham. Manager Andrée Jeglertz has said the Lionesses star will miss "a number of weeks" in what is a blow to the WSL leaders.
Manchester City are due to play neighbours Manchester United next in the WSL and then face a trip to Nottingham Forest in the League Cup. The Cityzens then see out 2025 with league matches against Leicester and Aston Villa.
علّق الإعلامي أحمد شوبير على أداء منتخب مصر في كأس العرب 2025، وتحديدًا بعد الخسارة أمام الأردن وتوديع البطولة من دور المجموعات، موضحًا بالأسماء والتحليلات الفنية أسباب تراجع النتائج، وأزمة اللاعبين المستبعدين.
وقال شوبير في تصريحات عبر برنامجه الإذاعي صباح اليوم الأربعاء: “انظروا.. لا تتفاجؤوا، أنا لن أصرخ ولن أنفعل، أنا فقط سأقول لكم إن منتخب الأردن واجهنا وكان يُمثله 11 لاعبًا من البدلاء، وليس لاعبًا أو اثنين، بل الإحدى عشر لاعبًا كلهم بدلاء”.
وتابع: “جمال السلامي، مدرب منتخب الأردن قال لقد ضمنتُ التأهل وسأتصدر المجموعة، وأريد أن أمنح اللاعبين الآخرين فرصة، فغيّر أحد عشر لاعبًا، ودائمًا حين تجد حارس المرمى قد تغيّر، فاعلم أن الفريق يلعب بالبدلاء”.
وواصل: “يعني إذا كنا نحن ذهبنا بمنتخب (ب)، فهم لعبوا بمنتخب (ت)، وبالمناسبة، منتخب (ب) مصر مليء بالأسماء الكبيرة، أنا أردّ بهدوء المنتخب الأردني بدأ بـ11 لاعبًا بديلًا، باستثناء علي علوان الذي نزل وسجل الهدف الثالث”.
وتابع: “دعونا نعرف ما يحدث عندنا أيضًا، لأن هناك كلامًا وضجة عن عدم توقف، الدوري توقّف واللاعبون الذين غابوا عن منتخب مصر، بهدوء لنرَ من الذي لم يذهب بسبب إيقاف الدوري وغير ذلك”.
واستكمل: “اللاعبون الذين كانوا موجودين من البداية وتم استبعادهم لأسباب فنية: مصطفى العش، عمر جابر، محمود جاد، عصام ثروت، كان محمود جاد في بيراميدز، وكان موجودًا مع الشناوي، الذي لعب هو محمد بسام، والاحتياطي عواد وعلي لطفي، وبالتالي ليست لديّ أي مشكلة في مركز حراسة المرمى”.
وأشار: “أما اللاعبون المؤثرون في بيراميدز الذين هم أساس المشكلة كما يُقال، فأي لاعب غير لاعبي بيراميدز تم استبعاده فنيًا من وجهة نظر الكابتن حلمي طولان، من هم؟ أحمد الشناوي كان مصابًا، ومحمود جاد كما قلت حارس مرمى، ولدينا ثلاثة حراس: بسام، عواد، علي لطفي. فلا توجد مشكلة”.
وتابع: “أحمد سامي لاعب جيد، كريم حافظ، أحمد عاطف قطة، محمود زلاكة، أربعة لاعبين، منهم الأساسيون: زلاكة، قطة، سامي، ووصل أيضًا مروان حمدي”.
وأوضح: “سأحدثكم بالأرقام لعبتم أمام تونس: فزتم 1–0، وسجل الهدف أفشة وهو معكم، ولعبتم أمام تونس مرة أخرى وفزتم 3–0: سجل يحيى زكريا وهو معكم، ومصطفى سعد ميسي معكم، وميدو جابر معكم”.

وأردف: “في معسكر سبتمبر، ذهبتم للمغرب، خسرتم المباراة الأولى 2–0 أمام المغرب، ثم فزتم على البحرين 4–0، سجل الأهداف: عمرو السولية، ميدو جابر، محمد شريف، مروان حمدي، وكلهم معكم”.
واستمر: “في آخر معسكر لعبتم مباراتين أمام الجزائر: فزتم 3–1، سجّل الجزائريون هدفًا في مرماهم، وسجل رجب نبيل، وسجل حسام حسن، والمباراة الثانية انتهت بالتعادل السلبي، إذًا حتى الأهداف التي سجلتموها، أصحابها موجودون معكم”.
وشدد: “أنا أتكلم بهدوء،الكابتن حلمي طولان صديقي وعزيز على قلبي، لكنني أفنّد الأمور فنيًا فقط، بعيدًا عن الجمهور، رغم أن الكابتن حلمي قال إنه لا يوجد غير الكابتن مدحت شلبي الذي يدعمهم، نحن هنا دائمًا داعمون ثم داعمون ثم داعمون”.
وواصل: “أمس كان الحضور حوالي 56 ألف متفرج، منهم ما لا يقل عن 40–45 ألف مصري، وتم إعلان الرقم على الشاشة، الجمهور لم يقصر، قصة الإعلام والدعم، الإعلام لا يلعب يا كابتن حلمي، وإذا قدم المنتخب عروضًا جيدة، سنضعكم فوق رؤوسنا، تعادلنا في أول مباراة مع الكويت، وأنا أزور الكويت أسبوعيًا، الناس كانوا في غاية السعادة، غير مصدقين أنهم تعادلوا مع مصر”.
واستمر: “الكويت حصلت على نقطة منا، لكنها خسرت من الأردن 3–1، وخسرت من الإمارات 3–1. نحن سجلنا هدفين: واحد أمام الإمارات وآخر أمام الكويت، ولم نسجل في مرمى احتياطي الأردن، الفريق الثاني الاحتياطي”.
واختتم: “أكثر شخص أشفق عليه هو محمد بسام، قدّم بطولة جيدة، لكنه خسر بثلاثة أهداف، والناس بالطبع ستتحدث، وأحد الأشخاص أرسل لي رسالة طويلة يقول فيها إن بسام لا يتحمل أي مسؤولية عن أهداف الإمارات ولا الكويت ولا الأهداف الثلاثة أمس. فما هو دور الإعلام؟ وما نوع الهجوم؟”.

Tudo começou quando John Textor, dono da SAF do Botafogo deu uma declaração sobre uma possível manipulação de resultados. Por outro lado, Leila Pereira rebateu o dirigente alvinegro, o chamou de “mal perdedor” e pediu que o empresário fosse expulso do futebol brasileiro.
A partir daí, Textor e Leila colecionaram diversas polêmicas. A mais recente ao final de maio, quando o dono do Botafogo acionou a presidente do Palmeiras na Justiça. O empresário estadunidense acusa a dirigente alviverde de injúria e difamação.

Erling Haaland's quickfire brace secured Norway a superb 4-1 comeback win over Italy to fire his country to their first World Cup since 1998. The Manchester City talisman exploded into the game with two goals in as many minutes as they topped their World Cup qualifying group in style. If the striker can continue his prolific form in front of goal, he could be a huge threat at his first World Cup.
A game of two halves
Heading into this contest, Norway had a three-point cushion over the Italians, along with a vastly superior goal difference. And it seemed Italy took that personally as they roared out of the blocks before taking the lead in the 11th minute through Francesco Pio Esposito's quick-thinking finish on Sunday night. The 20-year-old should have made it 2-0 not long before half time but he couldn't keep his header on target when in a very good position at San Siro.
Norway, who barely laid a finger on their hosts, showed signs of life in the second half as Alexander Sorloth flashed shots against the side netting and over the bar. And as the momentum was turning in the away team's favour, Antonio Nusa ran 20 yards with the ball before unleashing a fierce strike past Gianluigi Donnarumma in the 63rd minute.
Both Donnarumma and Norway stopper Orjan Nyland made important stops late on, but it took a moment of brilliance from Haaland in the 78th minute to separate both sides when he volleyed in Oscar Bobb's lofted cross. Just a minute later, the 25-year-old made it 3-1 when he expertly slotted the ball home from close range. Substitute Jorgen Strand Larsen bent a neat finish into the corner in second-half stoppage time as Norway emphatically won all eight of their group games, while Italy will have to qualify for the World Cup via the play-offs.

The MVP
Who else but Haaland? While Nusa kick-started Norway's fightback and Strand Larsen scored at the death, the City attacker's double ensured his side secured a superb victory in Milan. His first was a terrific volley, which flew past a helpless Donnarumma. And for his second, he showed off his poacher's instincts. Watch out for Norway in North America in 2026 with Haaland about.
The big loser
While Pio Esposito spurned a great opportunity to put Italy in control 10 minutes before half-time, and Norway's Julian Ryerson, who was sporting a bold leopard-print haircut inspired by NBA icon Dennis Rodman, dropped a clanger for the home team's opener, Italy as a whole ended their group stage campaign on a real sour note. To concede four second-half goals and go down with a whimper will hurt a lot.

Have we found the real Newcastle United so far this season? Probably not. If Eddie Howe’s side have played at their full capacity this term, such efforts have been scattered among too many frustrating, incoherent results.
The Premier League provides the clearest illustration of this. Ten matches into the league campaign, the Magpies are 13th, with 12 points on the board. Sunday’s defeat at West Ham United means they have gone seven months without a top-flight win on the road.
But they have also made a convincing start on their return to the Champions League, nine points from 12, while beating Mansfield Town and then Tottenham Hotspur to reach the last eight of the Carabao Cup, that title they won so emphatically last season.
Newcastle, too be sure, are a team carrying some burdens, but they responded in the right way against Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday evening, and now Howe has got to build on that positivity and fix his biggest problems.
How Howe can fix Newcastle's biggest problems?
Newcastle have been effective at St. James’ Park this term; they have struggled on the road. There’s something about Tyneside on a big night that draws the belief and quality and conviction from stars in black and white, and Dan Burn and co showed this against Bilbao this week.
However, for all Burn’s tenacity and embodiment of ‘The Howe Way’ at Newcastle, he might be played out of the side in the coming weeks, with Lewis Hall returning from injury and making a positive impression off the bench. Content creator Geordie Josh claimed post-match that the rising star is a “generational left-back in the making”.
By adding the 21-year-old, more athletic and progressive than his towering counterpart, Newcastle’s left-hand side will become more dynamic and balanced. After all, Hall ranks among the top 16% of full-backs across Europe over the past year for passes attempted and progressive passes, as well as the top 9% for tackles won per 90 (data via FBref).
Ultimately, Newcastle have to keep piecing the squad with talented players while retaining the all-important centre of Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes, the former of whom claimed another Man of the Match award on Wednesday, and is storming his way toward a clean sweep of individual accolades on Tyneside this term.
Newcastle have a strong spine, with Nick Woltemade the perfect frontal prosthetic to replace Alexander Isak after that summer of turmoil and divorce.
But there’s one Howe mainstay who’s letting his teammates down right now, and has been labelled Newcastle’s new version of Gabriel Obertan after another disappointing performance.
Newcastle's new Gabriel Obertan
Newcastle have been alchemised into a force to be reckoned with over the past four years. Players like Obertan, fondly remembered though they are, no longer ply their trade at St. James’ Park, who host a team of trophy winners and regular European contenders.
Gabriel Obertan for Newcastle
Obertan, once held in high regard by Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, joined Newcastle aged 22 for a shrewd £3m figure. Injuries had prohibited him. Across 77 appearances, he returned only three goals, assisting ten more.
Now, Anthony Gordon’s below-level displays have led one prominent fan base to suggest that Obertan’s spirit lives on. Indeed, the Three Lions star was said to have entered “Gabriel Obertan territory” after the loss at West Ham, having gone 21 Premier League matches without a goal and 19 without making an assist.
For a leading winger with such blistering pace and dangerous dribbling, this isn’t good enough. After all, Liverpool have been linked with a swoop for their one-time academy member since 2024, and the price tag mooted has reached £100m.
Gordon, 24, can look like a brilliant, unplayable talent, a “nightmare for anyone” he comes up against, by his own admission. But, equally, he isn’t hitting the same levels of fluency and sharpness as 2023/24, when he was so easily handed the club’s Player of the Year award after coming into his own and reaching double digits for goals and assists.
That Premier League season threatens to be an outlier if he not rekindle his form in the final third. Isak’s departure will have hampered him some, but more is needed, especially as he’s yet to break his domestic duck this year despite missing three big chances (as per Sofascore).

Gordon joined Newcastle from Everton for £45m in January 2023. He was young and raw but with bundles of potential, and he’s now one of the biggest names in English football, one of Howe’s leading forwards.
But he’s toiling through the current campaign, and now faces a potential layoff after such exciting previous revelations regarding the depth and breadth of his skillset.
Instances such as the red card against Liverpool won’t have helped matters, and neither will his recent showing against Bilbao, branded with a 5/10 match rating by the Chronicle Live before being taken off with a suspected recurrence of a hip injury. They said he ‘never looked right’.
What to do with a high-profile and high-quality star who is consistently flattering to deceive? A talisman, of sorts, magnified in importance after the summer’s tumultuous events.
Gordon is not a newcomer at Newcastle. He is an elite member of Howe’s title-winning squad. More is needed lest he fall into obscurity and find more heads nodding in agreement at the claims that he is morphing into the Toon’s new version of Obertan.

Eddie Howe could look towards the Newcastle United youth ranks to assess his other options in attack.
