Thiago Silva rested, misses Fluminense’s clash with Grêmio | OneFootball

Thiago Silva is out of Grêmio vs Fluminense, scheduled for this Tuesday at 9:30 PM, at Arena do Grêmio. The tricolor captain was rested for load management, according to information released by Cauã Tinoco, from Jornada KTO 1902. The coaching staff chose to avoid the risk of greater wear and tear in the final stretch of the Brasileirão.

Zubeldía, who will already be without Canobbio (suspended), loses one of the team's main leaders for a direct clash that could influence the fight for a spot in the Libertadores.

Without Thiago Silva, the tendency is for Ignácio  to pair up with Freytes in central defense.

Fluminense is in 6th place with 58 points and remains firmly in the race for direct qualification to the Libertadores.
