Canobbio asked to play for Fluminense before the Copa, stays focused | OneFootball

Eligible to report to the Uruguay national team for the World Cup, Agustín Canobbio once again showed his commitment to Fluminense. In a post-match interview, the forward said he had asked the coaching staff to let him play before joining the Uruguay squad, showing that he is fully prioritizing this moment with the tricolor shirt.

The Uruguayan spoke directly with Luis Zubeldía and reiterated his desire to help Fluminense at this decisive stage of the season, even on the eve of a commitment as important as the World Cup. In the match, Canobbio scored the third goal in Fluminense’s qualification at the Maracanã. His attitude is yet another sign of the competitive profile and connection with the club that Canobbio has quickly built.

In the interview, Canobbio also avoided speculating about any scenario for the future after the World Cup. The forward chose to adopt the so-called “Uruguay mode,” keeping his focus split between the decisive stretch with Fluminense and the opportunity to represent his national team in the biggest tournament in world football. Although his name has recently been linked with River Plate, no official offer has been received.

Since arriving at Tricolor, Canobbio has become an important piece in the attacking system thanks to his intensity, work rate, and ability to track back. His request to play before reporting to the national team reinforces the extent of his commitment to the club and highlights the importance the player places on Fluminense’s current moment.
