No Hulk, Cano a doubt, Castillo may get first shot v Atlético-MG | OneFootball

Signed for R$51.7 million, forward became the fourth option in the Tricolor squad and emerges as an alternative for this Saturday’s clash at Arena MRV

Fluminense is planning changes in the attacking sector for this Saturday’s match, at 4 p.m., against Atlético-MG at Arena MRV, in the Brazilian Championship. Coach Marcão will not have Hulk available, as he will not play due to an agreement made during his transfer because of his ties to the Minas Gerais club. In addition, Cano is doubtful after leaving the last match in pain and will undergo medical tests this Wednesday to assess the severity of the injury.

Given the uncertainty in attack, everything indicates that Castillo will have his first opportunity to start under Marcão. The biggest signing in Fluminense’s history, bought from Lanús for 10 million dollars (around R$51.7 million), with another 3 million dollars in taxes covered by the club, the Argentine has recently lost ground and has become the fourth option in the position.

At the start of his journey with the Tricolor, the forward has played 19 matches, scoring three goals and providing one assist. The match in Belo Horizonte could serve as a decisive opportunity for the player to prove himself before next week’s decisive clash in Argentina.
