Fluminense suffer setback ahead of Vasco clash, see likely line-up | OneFootball

Fluminense will have a key absence for the derby against Vasco this Thursday at Maracanã, in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil semifinal. Suspended, Canobbio will not be able to play, and coach Zubeldía will be forced to make changes in the attacking sector.

The tendency is for Soteldo, who is in excellent form, to take the open spot in the attack. The Venezuelan is expected to form the offensive trio alongside Serna and Everaldo, maintaining the tactical structure used by the coach in recent matches.
