Cano five months out, eyes return after international break | OneFootball

This Sunday, Germán Cano will complete five months without taking the field for Fluminense. A recent idol for the Tricolor fans, the striker went through a period marked by two injuries, but he is now fully recovered and getting closer and closer to being included in the squad again.

Cano’s last match was on October 29, against Ceará. After that, the forward dealt with physical problems at two different moments. First, he suffered a joint injury near the end of the 2025 season. Then, during the 2026 preseason, the Argentine suffered a knee sprain, which extended his time away from the pitch.

In the last match before the break for the FIFA international window, coach Luis Zubeldía spoke about the expectations for the No. 14’s return. According to the manager, there is a possibility that Cano could be included in the squad as early as the team’s next match.

If his recovery continues as planned, Cano could be among the squad for the match against Corinthians when the Brazilian Championship resumes, thus bringing an end to a long spell away from the pitch.
