Thiago Silva back in the squad, Flu seek response v Grêmio | OneFootball

Fluminense have announced the squad list for the match against Grêmio, scheduled for this Sunday (26) at 6:30 p.m. at the Arena do Grêmio, in the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship. The clash comes after a 1-1 draw with Red Bull Bragantino, a result that drew boos from the fans due to a below-par performance at the Maracanã.

The list includes Thiago Silva. The center-back is available to Luis Zubeldía and could strengthen a defense that will have important changes for the away match. Millán and Jemmes are out, both recovering from thigh injuries.

In attack, Hulk is also included in the squad and is expected to remain one of Tricolor’s main attacking threats. John Kennedy, the team’s top scorer this season, will miss the match due to suspension. As a result, Zubeldía is expected to make at least one change in that area.

Fluminense are looking to make the most of this run of matches before the Copa do Brasil to cement their place in the top four of the Brazilian Championship. In addition to the absences in defense and attack, the club will also be without Matheus Reis, who is still recovering from a knee injury.

Among those one booking away from suspension are Guilherme Arana, Lucho Acosta, and Carlos Gruezo, assistant coach on Zubeldía’s staff.
