Return to Rio snag costs Fluminense a training day before Chapecoense | OneFootball

Fluminense will have little time to prepare for facing Chapecoense next Sunday at 8:30 p.m. at the Maracanã in the Brazilian Championship.

This is due to logistical problems after the draw with Operário Ferroviário in the first leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil in Ponta Grossa, Paraná.As the match ended at 11:30 p.m., the delegation went straight from the stadium to Curitiba, on a journey of more than 100 km that took about two hours. They only arrived at the hotel in the early hours of Friday morning. The return to Rio de Janeiro is scheduled for this afternoon, with arrival expected around 3 p.m., which means the squad will lose a full day of training at the Carlos Castilho Training Center. During the morning, the schedule includes only recovery activities in the hotel gym.As a result, the only on-field session focused on the match against Chapecoense will take place on Saturday, on the eve of the game.After that, Tricolor will still face another major logistical challenge: the trip to face Club Bolívar in La Paz in the Libertadores. In addition to the travel, the team will have to deal with the altitude of 3,650 meters.
