Fluminense name squad for Carioca debut with new faces, 'Moleques de Xerém' | OneFootball

Fluminense has finalized the list of players for their debut in the 2026 season. The Tricolor will face Madureira this Wednesday (14th) at 7 PM, at the Luso Brasileiro Stadium, for the first round of the Campeonato Carioca. With tickets sold out for the match, the fans will see a team mixed with new signings and promising young players.

New Signings and Absences

The big news on the list are the presences of left-back Guilherme Arana, formerly of Atlético-MG, and defender Jemmes, a standout at Mirassol in the last Brasileirão, both recently signed by the club.

On the other hand, the team will not have Luis Zubeldía on the sidelines. The Argentine coach is recovering from an angioplasty with stent placement performed last weekend and is expected to return in 10 days. The team will be led by assistant Maxi Cuberas.

In the medical department, the confirmed absence is forward João Lourenço, who suffered a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his left foot and will be out for about four weeks.
