Cano back in training with the ball, boost for Fluminense’s attack | OneFootball

A light at the end of the tunnel for the tricolor attack. The striker Germán Cano took another important step in his recovery and returned to training with the ball at the Carlos Castilho training center. This news brings hope to Fluminense fans, who are experiencing a moment of apprehension due to the lack of options for the number 9 jersey.

The information was disclosed by journalist Pedro Brandão from Lance!. In a post on the social network X (formerly Twitter), the reporter shared that the Argentine is already engaging in ball activities, indicating good progress in his treatment.

Return in March

Cano underwent surgery on his right knee on January 10, after suffering a meniscus injury during the preseason. According to Brandão's findings, the updated forecast is that the top scorer will be available to the coaching staff by mid-March.

The player has not played in an official match since October 29, 2025, against Ceará, still in last year's Brasileirão.

Depleted Sector

Cano's return is treated as an absolute priority at Laranjeiras. The tricolor squad started 2026 with very few alternatives for the attack command. With the loans of Lelê and Everaldo, the coach currently only has John Kennedy as the available specialist striker.

Cano's reintegration, even if gradual, promises to relieve the burden on JK as the season progresses, while tricolor fans hope Fluminense negotiates the signing of a "goal-scoring" number 9, as announced.
