With a full week free of training, Marcão will have Thiago Silva and Hércules back for the Brazilian Championship clash

Fluminense will take the field with their strongest lineup for the derby against Vasco this Saturday at 9 p.m. at the Maracanã, as the Brazilian Championship continues. Coach Marcão will welcome back center-back Thiago Silva, who was rested in the previous match, and defensive midfielder Hércules, who is available again after serving an automatic suspension.

Even with the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals approaching, the coaching staff chose not to rest any starters. The internal assessment is that the full week of preparation and the favorable logistics, with both matches being played at the Maracanã, ensure a controlled level of fatigue and allow the first-choice team to play in both games.

Fluminense’s likely lineup is: Fábio; Guga, Ignácio, Thiago Silva and Renê; Hércules, Martinelli and Ganso; Canobbio, Soteldo and Hulk.
