Hulk’s Fluminense debut set to be delayed, find out why | OneFootball

Hulk is not expected to make his debut for Fluminense right after Brazilian football resumes following the World Cup break. The initial expectation was that the forward would play his first match for the club against Bragantino on July 22 at the Maracanã, but the match is likely to be rescheduled by the CBF.The reason is the São Paulo side’s qualification for the Copa Sudamericana playoffs. Bragantino will face Sporting Cristal on July 22 and 29, dates that directly affect the Brazilian Championship schedule.As a result, Hulk is now expected to make his Fluminense debut against Grêmio in Porto Alegre on the weekend of July 25 and 26. The final decision still depends on confirmation from the CBF.Signed by Tricolor in May, the forward will only be able to take the field after the transfer window reopens in July.Hulk will wear the No. 7 shirt at Fluminense, the same number he wore at Atlético-MG. It currently belongs to Soteldo, who will switch to No. 30 after the World Cup.
