Fluminense name squad as forward returns for Maracanã clash | OneFootball

Fluminense released the list of players called up for this Saturday’s match (26), at 8:30 p.m., at the Maracanã. The main news is the return of key players who were rested or left out of the most recent squads, strengthening the team for the fixture.

After resting players last Thursday in the Copa do Brasil, coach Luis Zubeldía will once again have Savarino available, after he was left out of the trip to Ponta Grossa. Midfielder Facundo Bernal, who was also rested, returns and should bolster the midfield.

Another return is Soteldo, who had been absent from the latest squad lists after reporting pain in the back of his left thigh. The forward had already been training with the group during the week and now reappears among the call-ups.

On the other hand, Fluminense still has important absences. Martinelli is out after leaving the match against Operário with pain in his left thigh early in the game. The midfielder underwent imaging tests, and the club is awaiting the final report.

In addition, Matheus Reis is still recovering from revision surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Lucho Acosta is being treated for a grade 2 injury to the medial collateral ligament in his left knee, while Germán Cano is recovering from a grade 2 injury to the rectus femoris muscle in his right thigh.

The expectation is that Tricolor will line up with: Fábio; Guga, Jemmes, Freytes and Guilherme Arana; Bernal, Hércules and Savarino; Canobbio, Serna and Castillo.
