Renê out, Zubeldía may use Freytes at left-back next Brasileirão match

Starting in Fluminense's victory over Flamengo last Wednesday (19), left-back Renê will be absent for the Tricolor and will have to serve an automatic suspension in the next round of the Brasileirão, against Palmeiras.

The player who received the third yellow card against the Rubro-Negro had been a key player in Luis Zubeldía's starting lineup. The coach spoke about the options in the squad to fill the position, highlighting the possibility of improvising Freytes in place of the natural left-back substitute, Fuentes.

It will be between Freytes and Gabi (Fuentes). I haven't seen him much, it's a moment to see him too, and Freytes, I would also like to see him on the left side, because when a defender can play on the left side, you gain that height, it can allow for some errors in the race, which is more difficult in the center, and you gain that height in set pieces. So, I have to see. It's a wonderful opportunity we have to choose one of the two.

With Renê's absence, the Team of Warriors returns to the field against the São Paulo team for the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship, next Saturday (22), at 9:30 PM, at Allianz Parque.
