Fluminense train without Serna, begin prep for Mirassol | OneFootball

Fluminense began preparations for the match against Mirassol this Monday at the Carlos Castilho Training Center. The return of the tricolor squad did not include forward Kevin Serna, who was called up to defend the Colombian national team during the FIFA Date.

The player, who scored a goal and provided an assist in the last two games for Luis Zubeldía's team, joined the Colombian delegation in Texas, USA, this morning. The national team has friendlies against Mexico and Canada, both in the United States, this Saturday and next Tuesday (14th), respectively.

Thus, Serna will miss the Tricolor Carioca in the match against the São Paulo team, scheduled for this Wednesday at Campos Maia Stadium in Mirassol, at 9 PM (Brasília time). The teams will face off in a delayed match of the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship.

In contrast, Zubeldía can count on the return of forward Germán Cano. Absent from the victory over Atlético-MG due to a calf injury last Saturday, the Argentine trained with his teammates this Monday.

Fluminense is aiming to achieve its fifth consecutive match without a loss and close in on Mirassol in the standings. The Rio de Janeiro team is in seventh place, with 38 points, five less than the São Paulo team, which is in sixth place.

Zubeldía has one more training session to decide the team that will take the field. The squad resumes preparation for the game this Tuesday.
