Fluminense returned to training on Monday afternoon at the Carlos Castilho Training Center, focusing on the upcoming match against Ceará, a rescheduled game from the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will take place at Maracanã this Wednesday (29), at 7 PM (Brasília time).

For the midweek match, coach Luis Zubeldía will have the return of defender Juan Freytes, who was suspended in the game against Internacional due to an accumulation of yellow cards. It is expected that he will regain his starting position, replacing Ignácio.

Another player who is expected to be available is midfielder Martinelli, who was rested in the last game to manage his physical load. Nonato, who has recovered from a thigh edema, may also be included. The midfielder has been training normally with the squad since last week and has a good chance of being among those selected.

On the other hand, Zubeldía will still be without Manoel (arthroscopy) and Paulo Henrique Ganso (physical transition). Both remain under the care of the club's medical department.

Fluminense's Situation

The Tricolor comes from a victory over Internacional, 1-0, at Maracanã last Sunday. With the result, the team reached 44 points and climbed to seventh place, just two points behind Botafogo, which opens the G6.
