With Ganso on the pitch, Fluminense continue preparations for Carioca clash | OneFootball

Fluminense continues its preparation to face Nova Iguaçu this Thursday, for the third round of the Campeonato Carioca. In the training session held this Tuesday at CT Carlos Castilho, the Tricolor had a new development: midfielder Paulo Henrique Ganso participated normally in the activity alongside his teammates.

Last Friday, the club had informed through its social media that the number 10 underwent tests that confirmed a sprained ankle, suffered during the previous day's training. The injury had kept the player out of recent activities, but his recovery allowed him to return to work with the group.

Despite Ganso's presence, it is likely that Fluminense will once again use an alternative team for the State Championship match. The expectation is that the midfielder will be fully available for the classic against Flamengo, scheduled for Sunday at 6 pm (Brasília time).

Ganso has been dealing with a series of physical problems in recent years. In 2025, he was sidelined after being diagnosed with myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, returning only in April. Later in the season, he suffered a left calf injury and was out for about 75 days, returning to the field on November 27, against São Paulo.
