Nonato ruled out for Fluminense’s crucial clash with Lanús | OneFootball

Fluminense faces Lanús this Tuesday (23rd) at 9:30 PM in the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana, without an important piece in the midfield: Nonato is out of the match. The player suffered a blow to the foot in the first leg against Lanús and underwent imaging tests. According to Fluminense's Central Profile, the midfielder did not recover in time and is out of tonight's game.

Coach Renato Gaúcho will need to adjust the midfield sector to compensate for Nonato's absence, as he had been a starter. Changes in the lineup have already been indicated due to injuries and absences. Given this scenario, the tendency is for Lucho Acosta to be named as a starter in the spot left by Nonato.

A victory by only two goals or more qualifies Flu directly for the semifinals. In the case of a simple victory, the decision goes to penalties. The home advantage and the presence of the crowd will be crucial to try to overturn the adverse score.
