Fluminense face São Cristóvão in first mid-season friendly | OneFootball

Fluminense returns to the pitch this Saturday for its first commitment of the mid-season break. Before the friendlies at the Maracanã against Nova Iguaçu and Bahia, Tricolor will face São Cristóvão at 9 a.m. at CT Carlos Castilho, as part of its preparation for the resumption of the season.

The session will be the first opportunity for Luis Zubeldía’s coaching staff to observe the squad in a match situation since returning after the break in the calendar. The clash will also serve to give the players match fitness ahead of the games against Nova Iguaçu on July 8 and Bahia on July 12, both at the Maracanã.

The friendlies are part of Fluminense’s preparation for the rest of the season, when the club will resume competing in the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil, and the Libertadores. The expectation is that forward Hulk will make his debut in the tricolor shirt in the match against Nova Iguaçu at the Maracanã.
