Fluminense missing key players against Cruzeiro, see list | OneFootball

Fluminense will have a number of absences for Sunday’s (31) match against Cruzeiro at 8:30 p.m. at Mineirão, in the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.

In addition to the squad issues, Tricolor will also be without head coach Luis Zubeldía on the sidelines. Suspended once again, the Argentine is expected to be replaced by assistant coach Maxi Cuberas in charge of the team.

On the field, center back Freytes and midfielder Nonato are out after receiving their third yellow cards in the loss to Mirassol in the last round.

Another important absence will be forward Canobbio. After taking part in the win over Deportivo La Guaira, which secured Fluminense a place in the Libertadores round of 16, the Uruguayan joined the Uruguay national team for its preparation period ahead of the World Cup.

The clash against Cruzeiro will be Fluminense’s last match before the break in the calendar for the Club World Cup.
