Fluminense wrap up preparations to face Ceará | OneFootball

This Tuesday, at CT Carlos Castilho, Fluminense wrapped up their preparations for the match against Ceará, valid for the 12th (postponed) round of the Brazilian Championship. The teams face each other this Wednesday, at 7:00 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

The group of players started the day with weight training inside the facilities and warm-up exercises on the pitch. Afterwards, under the command of Luis Zubeldía, they carried out ball work.

For the match, defender Juan Freytes is available again after serving a suspension against Internacional due to accumulation of yellow cards, and is expected to reclaim his spot among the starters in place of Ignácio.

In midfield, Martinelli, who was rested in the last match, should also return. Nonato, having recovered from swelling in his left thigh, has been training normally with the squad since last week.

On the other hand, the Argentine coach will still not be able to count on Manoel, who underwent arthroscopy, nor on Paulo Henrique Ganso, who is in the physical transition phase. Both remain under the care of the medical department.

Thus, a probable Fluminense lineup is: Fábio, Samuel Xavier, Thiago Silva, Freytes, and Renê; Hércules, Martinelli, and Lucho Acosta; Canobbio, Serna, and John Kennedy.

Fluminense comes into the match on the back of a 1-0 victory over Internacional at Maracanã last Sunday. The result took the team to 44 points and seventh place in the Brasileirão, two behind Botafogo, who hold the last spot in the G6.
