Tricolour casualty ward: Fluminense absentees for Athletico-PR clash | OneFootball

Fluminense takes the field this Sunday at 11 a.m. against Athletico-PR in the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship, with important absences in the squad.

Samuel Xavier is one of the main absentees. The right-back suffered a dislocated left shoulder in the match against Remo and will continue with conservative treatment. The expectation is that he will be sidelined for a few weeks.

In midfield, Marcão will not be able to count on Hércules, who is suspended after receiving his third yellow card. Alisson, who is recovering from an injury, is also out. As a result, the coach will have few alternatives for the position during the match.

In addition, forward John Kennedy remains out after undergoing knee surgery. The player is expected to recover in six to eight months and is unlikely to return this season.

Fluminense is fourth in the Brasileirão standings with 41 points, three behind Athletico-PR.
