Fluminense name squad for final v Flamengo, Cano still missing | OneFootball

Fluminense released on Sunday afternoon (8) the list of players called up for the final of the Campeonato Carioca against Flamengo. The decision will take place at 6 p.m. at Maracanã, in a single match that will determine the 2026 state champion.

Among the names called up by the tricolor coach are important players from the squad such as Fábio, Samuel Xavier, Martinelli, PH Ganso, Lucho Acosta, John Kennedy, and Kevin Serna, the team's top scorer of the season.

One of the main absences is Germán Cano. Despite the expectation created during the week about the possible return of the striker, he does not appear on the list and remains yet to debut for the club in 2026.

Another absence is Yeferson Soteldo. The striker is out of the final after presenting an ophthalmological issue and remains in treatment.

In addition, midfielder Facundo Bernal continues to recover from a partial tear of the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, while striker Matheus Reis is treating a sprained knee suffered during training this week. Midfielder Nonato is in the final stage of physical recovery and was also not included.
