Samuel Xavier to miss key Copa do Brasil tie v Bahia for Fluminense

Fluminense continues its preparation for the duel against Bahia, for the Copa do Brasil. The match will be this Wednesday, at Maracanã, and is worth a spot in the semifinals.

Coach Renato Gaúcho is likely to have a significant loss for the duel, as right-back Samuel Xavier, who was injured in the first leg, has not been participating in training.

The tendency is for Guga to be a starter once again in the match. The player was heavily criticized for the mistake that resulted in Bahia's victory goal in Salvador.

Fluminense will take the field needing to win by two goals difference to advance in the Copa do Brasil. A one-goal triumph will take the decision to penalties.
