Soteldo, Fluminense’s sole call-up, eyes historic milestone with Venezuela | OneFootball

The only Fluminense player called up for this FIFA date, Venezuelan Yeferson Soteldo is close to experiencing one of the great moments of his career. The striker and his teammates could take Venezuela to the World Cup for the first time.

At this moment, the Venezuelan national team occupies the seventh position in the table, with 18 points, and is heading for the playoffs. There is also the possibility of snatching a direct spot for the World Cup - if they can overtake Colombia, which has 22 points, from the sixth position.

There are two games left until the end of the qualifiers. Venezuela's first commitment is away against Argentina, this Thursday (4), at 8:30 pm. Then, the Venezuelans host Colombia, next Tuesday (9), also at 8:30 pm.

At Fluminense, Soteldo has yet to shine. The player arrived in June of this year, during the exclusive transfer window for the Club World Cup competition. Of the nine matches in which the Venezuelan has been on the field, the Tricolor has only achieved one victory - against Internacional, at Beira-Rio, precisely when he was injured early in the match.
