Fluminense ready to face Corinthians, probable line-up revealed | OneFootball

This Friday, the Fluminense squad completed their preparation to face Corinthians, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match is scheduled for this Saturday, at 4:00 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

Coach Renato Gaúcho may choose to rest some players for the clash. This is because the team from Rio will face Lanús, in Argentina, next Tuesday (16), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), for the quarterfinals of the South American.

The only certain absence is right-back Samuel Xavier. The athlete suffered a grade 2 injury on the last day of August 30, in a duel against Bahia. Thus, he continues to recover.

Therefore, Fluminense should go on the field with: Fábio; Guga, Thiago Silva, Freytes and Renê; Hércules and Martinelli; Canobbio, Nonato and Kevin Serna; Everaldo (Cano).

Just like Corinthians, Fluminense also comes from a qualification in the Copa do Brasil. The Tricolor das Laranjeiras eliminated Bahia in the middle of this week, reversing the result of the first leg and winning the clash by 2 to 1 on aggregate. With this, the Cariocas secured their spot in the semi-finals.

In the Brasileirão, Flu has had its ups and downs. In the last five rounds, the team won two, drew two, and lost one.

At the moment, Renato Gaúcho's squad is in ninth place, with 28 points.
