Kevin Serna back in Rio before Flu v Juventude, may join squad | OneFootball

Called up by the Colombian national team, Kevin Serna wraps up this Tuesday (14) his participation for Colombia in a friendly against Canada, at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), in the United States, and is expected to return to Rio de Janeiro before Fluminense’s next match. The Tricolor face Juventude this Thursday (16), at 9 p.m., at Maracanã, in the Brazilian Championship, and the forward has a good chance of being included.

Serna gained international attention after his debut for the Colombian national team, when he started in the 4–0 win over Mexico last Saturday (11). The forward was praised by the Colombian press for his intensity and commitment on the field—qualities that have also made him an important piece in the Tricolor squad.

According to information from ge, the coaching staff’s plan is for Serna to arrive in Rio before matchday, which would allow him to be among those called up. His return, however, depends on the player’s physical condition after his national team duties and the long trip back.

In good form wearing the Tricolor shirt, Serna has become an important piece in the attacking setup and is viewed internally as a valuable reinforcement for the match against Juventude. If fit, he could return to lead Fluminense’s attack right as the new third kit—maroon and gold—makes its debut, on another night at Maracanã.
