In the 20th round of the Brazilian Serie A, Flamengo defeated Internacional 2-1 last night.

Offsideplus.az reports that one of the striking points is that Juninho is not in the squad for the match. The striker, who was transferred to Flamengo from Qarabag in January, has not been in the Brazilian club's squad for 3 matches. He last came on the field as a substitute in the match against Ceara on August 4, and was left on the reserve team in the match against Atletico on August 7.

According to the publication "Ge.globo", Juninho and several other players' prestige at Flamengo has already decreased. There are discussions about Filipe Luis giving him more chances, but the time allotted to him is decreasing from game to game. It is reported that Juninho received offers from Saudi Arabia during the summer transfer window and 2 Arab clubs sent loan offers. Flamengo rejected both offers.
