Samuel Xavier available again, Renato Gaúcho to decide if he starts

Good news for Fluminense on the eve of the decision for the Copa Sudamericana. Right-back Samuel Xavier has recovered from an injury to the anterior muscle of his left thigh and will be included in the squad for the match against Lanús, this Tuesday (23), at 9:30 PM, at Maracanã, valid for the quarter-finals of the continental competition.

The player had been absent from the Tricolor, but resumed training normally and was cleared by the medical department. Now, he is at the disposal of Renato Gaúcho, who will decide whether Samuel Xavier starts the match as a starter or will be an option on the bench.
