Fluminense name squad for Libertadores opener with forward back | OneFootball

Fluminense has finalized the squad list for its Conmebol Libertadores debut this Tuesday (7) against Deportivo La Guaira in Venezuela. The main news is the return of forward Canobbio, who is available again after missing the team’s last few matches.

The Tricolor delegation is already in Caracas for the clash, scheduled for 7 p.m. (Brasília time) at the UCV Olympic Stadium. For the match, coach Luis Zubeldía will once again have players who were rested in the game against Coritiba, strengthening the team for the start of its continental campaign.

Canobbio is the main player returning to the squad. The Uruguayan had been rested due to physical fatigue, but trained normally and traveled with the team, with a real chance of being in the starting lineup.

On the other hand, Fluminense still has important absences. Midfielders Nonato and Facundo Bernal remain out, both recovering from injury, and were not included in the squad for the debut.

As a result, Zubeldía is taking a virtually full-strength side for the first group-stage match, relying on a team closer to his ideal lineup to try to earn points away from home right at the start of the competition.
