Canobbio suspended: who replaces him up front against Vasco? | OneFootball

Fluminense will have a mandatory change in its offensive sector for the first match of the Copa do Brasil semifinal against Vasco, which takes place this Thursday (11), at 8:00 PM, at Maracanã. Forward Canobbio is out of the match after receiving his third yellow card, which has forced coach Luis Zubeldía to look for an alternative to maintain the team's aggressiveness.

The tendency is for the Venezuelan Soteldo to take the starting spot. The player is in good form and has gained confidence after decisive performances in the last rounds of the Brasileirão, scoring two goals against Grêmio and providing a recent assist, which makes him a strong candidate to start the derby. Keno would also be an option for the position, but has been used less frequently by the coach.

Probable Lineup

With Soteldo coming in, the tactical structure should remain the same, forming an attacking trio alongside Serna and Everaldo.

The probable team to take the field is: Fábio; Samuel Xavier, Thiago Silva, Freytes, and Renê; Martinelli, Hércules (or Nonato), and Lucho Acosta; Soteldo, Serna, and Everaldo.

This Thursday's match opens the battle for a spot in the final of the competition, with the return leg scheduled for next Sunday, also at Maracanã.
