Will Fluminense have Matheus Martinelli for the Coritiba clash? | OneFootball

Midfielder Matheus Martinelli remains with the Brazilian National Team during the FIFA international break. Called up by coach Carlo Ancelotti, the player is having his first experience wearing the Brazil jersey. So far, the Fluminense player has played only seven minutes, in the second friendly against Australia.

Martinelli has been receiving praise behind the scenes with the Brazilian National Team and is expected to get more opportunities in Carlo Ancelotti’s upcoming call-ups. However, the trend is for the midfielder to start this Saturday’s match against India on the bench.

Ancelotti said that the game against the Indians should not be seen as a test, but rather as another opportunity for the players to show their football. Matheus Martinelli was praised for his performance in the 4-2 win over the Australians.

The Fluminense midfielder is expected to be used again in the second half of the match against India. It is worth remembering that the Brazilian National Team will be disbanded right after Saturday’s match. As a result, the players and coaching staff will return to their bases on the same day.

Matheus Martinelli is expected to report back to Fluminense on Monday the 5th to resume activities with the squad. The player has no physical issues, but he will be re-evaluated by the club’s medical department as soon as he arrives at the training center.

The few minutes on the field and the time before Fluminense reconvenes are positive factors for the player to be on the field for the full 90 minutes when the Brazilian Championship resumes. Fluminense face Coritiba on Thursday the 8th at the Maracanã in a match valid for the 29th round of the Brasileirão.

Matheus Martinelli will have three days of training with Fluminense

Reporting back on Monday, Matheus Martinelli will have three days of training with the rest of the squad before the match against Coxa. It is worth remembering that Marcão will not be able to count on Agustin Canobbio and Nonato, who are suspended after receiving their third yellow card.

Martinelli is one of Fluminense’s main names this season and usually dictates the tempo of Tricolor’s midfield. Under Marcão, the midfielder has taken on other roles in midfield, at times playing as the player responsible for creating moves alongside Paulo Henrique Ganso.
