Fluminense is experiencing a moment of uncertainty in the defensive sector and in the midfield for the decisive duel against Internacional, scheduled for Wednesday (06), at 21h30 (Brasilia Time), in Maracanã. The game is valid for the 16th round of the Brazilian cup and occurs in a context of medical doubts involving two owners of the Renato Portaluppi team.
Thiago Silva, 40, heard the muscle discomfort in the back of the right thigh in the final stretch of victory over Grêmio, for the Brazilian championship. The defender was subjected to image exams after the reconstruction of the cast, Monday (04), and the club will release an update on his physical condition.
If Thiago Silva does not satisfy the conditions, Manel should be chosen for the function. The defender was starting against Grêmio, replacing Freytes suspended. On the other hand, Ignacio remains removed for the injury of the ligament and follows without return for the return.
In addition to the defense problem, midfielder Hercules also worries coaching staff. The player was replaced in the interval of the same game due to a bubble in the foot, who even prevented the use of the boot.
Renato commented on the situation at the end of the game: “Hercules felt much. He couldn’t even put the boot. We wait to find out if he will be able to play.” With this, the input of the goose in midfield was assessed as an alternative. This possible change can change the tactical scheme, making the team more focused on the frame.
Limited preparation and pressure of the opponent
The cast of Tricolor will only have two complete activities before the clash. The definitive formation should be defined only in the final training before the match.
While Fluminense manages medical doubts, the International arrives under pressure, but with available reinforcements. To qualify, the Gaucho team must win with two objectives or repeat the result of the first stage, provided that with the upper balance, to bring the dispute to the sanctions.
Fans’ expectation and context of the clash
The atmosphere in the Carioca Club is cautious, but also sure of the castle’s strength. Fans hope that embezzlement does not interfere directly with the planning provided to advance in the national competition.
