Fluminense name squad for Remo clash at the Maracanã | OneFootball

Fluminense announced this Saturday (22) the list of players called up for the match against Remo in the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship. The teams face each other at 4:30 p.m. at the Maracanã, in another important fixture for Tricolor in the race for the top spots in the competition.

The team heads into the clash boosted by its recent results. Under interim coach Marcão, Fluminense beat Palmeiras in the Brasileirão and, in midweek, secured a place in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals after an emotional showdown against Independiente Rivadavia.

Tricolor currently sits fourth in the Brazilian Championship with 38 points and will look to make the most of home advantage to add another three points. A win over Remo could bring Fluminense closer to the top of the table and strengthen the team in the fight for a direct spot in next year’s Copa Libertadores.

The match is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at the Maracanã. Marcão will be without Guga and Lucho Acosta, who are serving automatic suspensions after picking up their third yellow cards. As a result, Samuel Xavier is expected to start at right-back. The coach will also be without John Kennedy, Igor Rabello, Riquelme, and Matheus Reis, who remain under medical care.

Fluminense’s probable lineup is: Fábio; Samuel Xavier, Thiago Silva, Ignácio and Renê (or Arana); Martinelli, Hércules and Ganso; Canobbio, Soteldo and Hulk.
