Fluminense clarify logistics were planned, no Friday training | OneFootball

Fluminense will have little time to prepare for next Sunday’s match against Chapecoense, at 8:30 p.m. at the Maracanã, in the Brazilian Championship.

Initially, the information was that the squad had lost a day of training due to logistical problems after the draw with Operário Ferroviário in the first leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil, in Ponta Grossa, Paraná.

As the match ended at 11:30 p.m., the delegation left the stadium straight for Curitiba, on a trip of more than 100 km that took about two hours. They only arrived at the hotel in the early hours of this Friday.

The return to Rio de Janeiro is scheduled for Friday afternoon, with arrival expected around 3 p.m. During the morning, the schedule included only recovery activities in the hotel gym.

However, Fluminense officially spoke out and clarified that there were no logistical problems during the trip. According to the club, the lack of training had already been planned due to the travel time between the interior of Paraná and Rio de Janeiro, as well as the difficulties imposed by the calendar.

As a result, the only on-field session focused on the clash against Chapecoense will take place on Saturday, on the eve of the match.

After that, Tricolor will still have another major challenge: the trip to face Club Bolívar in La Paz in the Copa Libertadores. In addition to the journey, the team will have to deal with the altitude of 3,650 meters.
