After two months out, Ganso returns and could feature in the derby | OneFootball

Fluminense will have an important addition among the players listed for this Wednesday’s Fla-Flu: Paulo Henrique Ganso is back. The midfielder has not played since September 13, when he suffered a calf injury during the 1-0 defeat to Corinthians at Maracanã.

Since then, Ganso has gone through a long recovery process, including muscle strengthening and field transition work. The injury, diagnosed as grade 2, kept him out for more than two months, during which time Tricolor changed coaches, with Luis Zubeldía taking over.

Now cleared by the medical department, Ganso will be available again, but his use still depends on Zubeldía’s decision, as the number 10 has not yet worked under the Argentine coach before the injury. The expectation is that the midfielder will start on the bench and be an option as the classic progresses.

The return of the maestro represents a technical and leadership boost for the squad, especially in a decisive Fla-Flu in the final stretch of the Brazilian Championship.
