With key absentees, Fluminense announce squad to face Ceará | OneFootball

Fluminense has announced the squad list for the match against Ceará this Sunday (2), at 4 PM, at Arena Castelão, for the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship. The Tricolor arrives in Fortaleza with some important absences and new faces in the delegation.

As previously reported, Germán Cano suffered a sprain in his right knee and is out of the game. Another absence is Riquelme, who felt shoulder pain and stayed in Rio de Janeiro. In addition, Thiago Silva has been rested, while Lucho Acosta and Facundo Bernal are serving suspensions. Ganso and Manoel are still recovering and were not included.

The good news is Nonato, who returns as an option after recovering from injury. The midfielder has not played since the match against Lanús in Argentina, for the South American Cup on September 18.
