With Riquelme back, Fluminense name squad to face Santos | OneFootball

Fluminense released the squad list for the match against Santos this Saturday at 4 p.m. at Vila Belmiro, for the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship. The main news is the return of Riquelme Felipe, who is once again an option after a long spell out.

Head coach Luis Zubeldía continues to rotate the squad and is expected to make changes compared to the team that played in midweek. The main doubt is in midfield, as the team could line up with three defensive midfielders or with PH Ganso as the central playmaker.

Among the absences, the Tricolor is still without key players. Lucho Acosta is out with a ligament injury in his left knee and is expected to return in three to four weeks. Germán Cano will also miss the match after a muscle injury in his right thigh, while Matheus Reis is recovering from knee surgery. Nonato and Soteldo, meanwhile, are in physical transition.

Fluminense’s likely lineup is: Fábio; Guga, Jemmes, Freytes and Guilherme Arana; Bernal, Hércules and Alisson (Ganso); Savarino, Serna and John Kennedy.
