📋 First team: Flu line-up set to bounce back in the Cariocão | OneFootball

Fluminense returns to the field this Thursday (22), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), when they face Nova Iguaçu at the Luso-Brasileiro Stadium, on Ilha do Governador, for the third round of the Cariocão 2026.

The Tricolor das Laranjeiras is in fourth place in Group A with three points.

The Baixada team, on the other hand, is the runner-up in Group B with four points.

After the defeat in the last game (1-0 to Bosvista), coach Maxi Cuberas, still substituting for Luis Zubeldía, who is recovering from heart surgery, decided to promote the debut of players from Fluminense's main squad.

Kevin Serna, however, is on the bench for the young Matheus Reis.

According to the Cariocão 2026 regulations, the top four teams from each group advance to the knockout stage to determine the grand champion.
