Colombian center-back overcomes thigh injury suffered in July, is already training with the group and should be an option for the second leg of the round of 16

Good news for Fluminense’s medical department and coaching staff. Colombian center-back Julián Millán has made significant progress in recovering from a muscle injury in his right thigh and has already returned to training with the group at CT Carlos Castilho.

The player had been sidelined since July 17, when he suffered the injury during the match against Red Bull Bragantino at the Maracanã.

According to journalist Pedro Brandão, from the Lance! outlet, Millán is being prepared to be 100% available for the second leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16, in the next decisive clash against Independiente Rivadavia in Argentina.

On the other hand, the player’s presence in this Saturday’s match against Palmeiras in the Brazilian Championship is still being treated as uncertain. The coaching staff is expected to assess the Colombian’s physical response in the final training sessions before deciding whether to include him in the squad for the match.
