Fluminense announce squad to face Athletico-PR at the Maracanã | OneFootball

Fluminense has completed preparations and released the list of players selected for the match against Athletico-PR, which takes place this Sunday (15), at 4 PM, at Maracanã. After the long trip to Belém, Pará, Luis Zubeldía's coaching staff is closely monitoring the players' physical conditions to decide the starting lineup.

The main news on the list is the return of midfielder PH Ganso, who had been rested in the previous round for load management. On the other hand, defender Guga remains out, making room for the young Julio Fidelis among the selected defenders. In the medical department, midfielder Facundo Bernal continues recovering from a ligament injury, while Germán Cano and Nonato are undergoing physical transition work.

Doubts in defense and physical evaluation

The greatest uncertainty for coach Zubeldía lies in the defensive sector. Defender Jemmes did not participate in Saturday's activities due to a health issue and is doubtful for the match. If unavailable, the coach might choose to bring in Ignácio or Igor Rabello alongside Freytes. On the left flank, the competition is open between Guilherme Arana and Renê.

Probable Fluminense lineup:

Fábio; Samuel Xavier, Freytes, Ignácio (Jemmes) and Guilherme Arana (Renê); Martinelli, Hércules and Lucho Acosta; Canobbio, Savarino and John Kennedy.
