With Libertadores in mind, Fluminense name squad for Mirassol | OneFootball

Fluminense released, this Saturday (23), the squad list for the match against Mirassol, in the 17th round of the Brazilian Championship. The game kicks off at 7 p.m. at Estádio Maião.

After beating Bolívar in the Libertadores in midweek, Tricolor now turns its attention back to the Brasileirão while still keeping an eye on the situation in Group C of the continental competition. The team depends on a combination of results in the final round to advance to the Libertadores round of 16.

In the Brazilian Championship, the moment is positive. Fluminense sits in third place, with 30 points, and comes in with momentum after beating São Paulo at the Maracanã.

For the clash against Mirassol, head coach Luis Zubeldía returns to the sidelines after serving a suspension in the Libertadores. The main news on the squad list is the absence of Savarino and Canobbio, who have been rested for workload management.

In addition to them, center-back Ignácio is out after fracturing the fourth metacarpal of his right hand. Alisson also remains in the medical department after a grade 1 strain in his left calf, while Matheus Reis continues recovering from knee surgery. Martinelli is still in physical transition.

Another expected change in the team is at right-back. Guga left the last match with pain in his neck and head, trained normally this Friday, but is expected to be rested, opening up a spot for Samuel Xavier.

Fluminense’s likely lineup for the match is: Fábio; Samuel Xavier, Jemmes, Freytes and Renê; Bernal, Hércules (Nonato) and Lucho Acosta; Serna, Soteldo and John Kennedy.
