With Bernal back, Fluminense name squad for derby against Flamengo | OneFootball

Fluminense released the list of players called up for this Sunday’s derby against Flamengo, at 6 p.m. at the Maracanã, for the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship. The main news is the return of defensive midfielder Facundo Bernal, who has recovered after being sidelined with an injury.

The list does not bring any major surprises compared to what Luis Zubeldía had been using, keeping the core of the squad that played in the last matches. Bernal’s presence gives the midfield more options, a sector that already includes names such as Martinelli, Hércules, Lucho Acosta, and PH Ganso.

The tendency is to keep the team that took the field in the last match, against Deportivo La Guaira, with few changes. The main doubt is in the attack, where Serna appears as an option to earn a place among the starters, directly competing for a spot and potentially changing the dynamic of the Tricolor attack.

On the other hand, the club also confirmed important absences for the derby. In the medical department, Matheus Reis remains out as he recovers from knee surgery, Nonato with an ankle sprain, Germán Cano, who suffered a muscle injury in his right thigh, and Soteldo, who was taken out of the match due to pain in the back of his left thigh.
