Scans rule out injury for Arana, full-back should face Bahia | OneFootball

After leaving the pitch in pain during the 1-1 draw with Grêmio, Guilherme Arana reassured Fluminense. The left-back underwent tests that found no injury to his right knee. The player suffered only a bruise in the area and is expected to be cleared to face Bahia next Wednesday at the Maracanã.

Arana had already shown improvement after the match in Porto Alegre. The substitution was made as a precaution, since the defender was still recovering from a knock suffered during the mid-season break.

Savarino also showed progress. Absent from the match against Grêmio due to pain in the back of his left thigh, the midfielder took part normally in activities with the rest of the squad at CT Carlos Castilho on Monday afternoon.

Fluminense’s second-leading scorer this season, Savarino stayed in Rio de Janeiro during the team’s trip to Porto Alegre to carry out fitness work. Although he has returned to training, the Venezuelan’s availability for the match against Bahia will still be assessed by the coaching staff.
