The Tricolore technical committee assesses that there is a greater risk of injuries on this type of pitch. Aiming for the Club World Championship, some athletes preferred to be spared.
Fluminense will face Palmeiras this Sunday (3), at 4pm, at Allianz Parque, in a match valid for the 37th matchday of the Brazilian Championship. 15 days after their debut in the Club World Cup, Diniz’s team took the final phase of the national competition very seriously. However, the coach will spare several starters for the clash. If they win the match, Abel Ferreira’s team could win the tournament twice in a row.
Fernando Diniz has already given countless demonstrations that he is not used to sparing players. Libertadores’ post-title sequence is a great indicator of where they stand. Against Palmeiras the coach should not list some starters. This is because there is fear among the team and technical staff towards synthetic turf. The assessment is that in this type of field the risk of injuries is greater. As the World Cup approaches, some athletes don’t want to risk missing out. Cano, Arias, Felipe Melo, Nino, Marcelo and Ganso do not travel to Sao Paulo
For the match against Palmeiras, Fernando Diniz has no right-backs available. Samuel Xavier recovers from injury and Guga is disqualified. As a result, the coach has to improvise Yony González in the position. The last time the Colombian played this role was in Fluminense’s historic victory over Internacional, in a match valid for the second leg of the Libertadores semi-final. The number 15 entered the final phase and was instrumental in the team’s second goal.
Probable Fluminense lineup: Fábio; Yony González (Justen), David Braz, Thiago Santos, Diogo Barbosa; André, Martinelli, Lima, Daniel; Keno and John Kennedy
Fluminense is at its best in the Brazilian championship. After the Libertadores victory they went unbeaten for five matches, the longest in the entire competition. Despite saving some of the starters, Diniz’s speech indicates that his team will continue to play with the same seriousness against Palmeiras. The Rio tricolor seeks its first victory in the history of Allianz Parque. The club’s record at the stadium is not good. In nine games there are eight defeats and one draw.

Without many starters and cautious with the synthetic pitch, Fluminense plays its last match away from home for the 2023 Brazilian Championship. Palmeiras needs the victory to get closer to the competition title and will therefore be a very difficult opponent for the Rio tricolor. With the Club World Cup a few days away, Diniz is making the final adjustments to the tournament.
