Fluminense return to training as preparations begin to face Mirassol | OneFootball

Fluminense returned to training on Tuesday morning at the Carlos Castilho Training Center, focusing on the match against Mirassol, for the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will take place at Maracanã this Thursday at 7:30 PM (Brasília time).

Returns and Absences

For the match, coach Luis Zubeldía will have the return of defender Thiago Silva, right-back Samuel Xavier, midfielder Bernal, and midfielder Lucho Acosta to the starting lineup.

The four missed Fluminense's 2-0 defeat to Ceará last Sunday. Thiago Silva and Samuel Xavier were rested for load management, while Bernal and Lucho Acosta served suspensions due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
