With a crowded calendar, nutrition and recovery are part of the squad’s routine. In a November 3 report, Flamengo described the work of nutritionists Paulo Cavalcanti and Matheus Phena and individual plans adapted to each player and phase of the season.

According to the club, Cavalcanti said the team advises players about energy replenishment before and after matches. Phena added that the work continues in the following days, not just immediately after the final whistle.

The account describes the club’s own approach; its professionals tailor measures to each player’s circumstances.
