Tricolor will have the return of Samuel Xavier and Felipe Melo this Wednesday (20)
Fluminense is close to the most important match of the year. The first clash against Internacional will be played on Wednesday (27th) in the semifinal of the Libertadores. But first, on Wednesday (20th), the Tricolor faces Cruzeiro in the Brasileirão and has the opportunity to do one last test with the returns of important players before the decision at the home of the Libertadores.
For the match against Cruzeiro, Fernando Diniz has the return of Samuel Xavier, out of the classic against Vasco due to disqualification, and Felipe Melo, who had been rested due to calf pain.
The two players, fundamental in the coach’s plan, should play tomorrow. However, Fluminense could have other absences. Paulo Henrique Ganso, who did not play against Vasco and Jhon Arias, replaced in the match against Cruz-Maltino, are not fit for the match against Raposa. Even so, the two were present at the training
The match against Cruzeiro will also be Fluminense’s first match at the Maracanã since the stadium closed to restore the pitch. It is therefore important that the players can adapt to the new pitch ahead of the Libertadores semi-final the following week.
Furthermore, his commitment to the Brasileirão will also represent the first time that Fernando Diniz will lead Fluminense since returning from the Brazilian team. In the last match, Diniz was serving a suspension and the team was led by his assistant Eduardo Barros.
