John Kennedy could be a doubt for Fluminense

Fluminense was defeated by Boavista this Saturday, in Bacaxá, in the Campeonato Carioca. In the match that marked the team's first setback, John Kennedy became a doubt.

The forward suffered a sprained ankle and was substituted in the first half by Lelê, a situation that could be repeated in the upcoming games.

John Kennedy left the stadium wearing a protective boot and using crutches. The forward will undergo imaging tests to determine the severity of the injury.

The tendency is that the player will not play against Nova Iguaçu this Thursday, at Luso-Brasileiro, in the State Championship. With that, Lelê is the favorite to start the match among the starters.
