Zubeldía undergoes angioplasty, misses Fluminense’s opening Carioca matches | OneFootball

Fluminense's coach, Luis Zubeldía, underwent a successful cardiac procedure this Saturday. The coach had an angioplasty and will be away from his duties for the next 15 days, following medical advice.

According to the club's official statement, Zubeldía's return to work is scheduled for January 25. During the recovery period, the Tricolor will continue its normal schedule in the Campeonato Carioca.

Without the coach on the sidelines, Fluminense will face Madureira (01/14), Boavista (01/17), and Nova Iguaçu (01/21) in the first three rounds of the state competition. Zubeldía's return coincides precisely with the date of the classic against Flamengo, valid for the fourth round of the Carioca, scheduled for the 25th.

The club has not announced who will temporarily lead the team during the coach's absence.
