Fluminense: Lucho Acosta back, squad named for Beira-Rio | OneFootball

Fluminense released the squad list for Sunday’s match against Internacional at Beira-Rio, in the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship. The main news is the return of Lucho Acosta, who is available again after a spell out.

After the 2-0 defeat to Bolívar in the Conmebol Libertadores, Tricolor now turns its attention back to the Brasileirão, where it sits in third place with 26 points, six behind leaders Palmeiras. For the clash in Porto Alegre, coach Luis Zubeldía is expected to rest some players with the rest of the season in mind.

The team is likely to use a system with three center-backs, along with possible changes to the starting lineup. Players such as Hércules, Savarino, and Canobbio could start on the bench.

Among the absentees, the club said Martinelli is still recovering from a muscle edema in his left thigh, with an expected return in five to seven weeks. Matheus Reis is recovering from surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Germán Cano is in the physical transition phase.

Fluminense’s likely lineup is Fábio; Samuel Xavier, Jemmes, Freytes, Millán and Arana; Bernal and Alisson; Soteldo, Serna and John Kennedy.
