Fluminense returns to Ecuador after three years, where it has a positive record

Fluminense will face LDU this Thursday, at 9.30pm, at the Casa Blanca Stadium in Quito, in the first leg of the Recopa Sul-Americana final

The Fluminense delegation arrived yesterday in Quito, Ecuador, to begin preparations for Thursday’s decisive match against LDU, valid for the Recopa Sul-Americana. It’s been three years since the flu set foot on Ecuadorian soil and, although I don’t have good memories, the country’s record is very good.

There are 25 matches in Ecuador, with 16 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. A very satisfying retrospective, given that most of the opponents faced by the Tricolore play at altitude. LDU, for example, plays at an altitude of 2,850 m above sea level. The Casa Blanca stadium, the venue for the first match of the decision, is tenth in the list of the tallest stadiums on the planet.

Fernando Diniz’s team traveled to Ecuador with some new arrivals, including Keno, in doubt due to a pain in his left heel, Marlon, who is recovering from a right knee injury, and Manoel, who can play after suspension for doping. . However, absent from the first leg are John Kennedy, who is suspended, and Samuel Xavier, who is recovering from a right knee injury.

Fluminense will have two days to train and try to adapt to the altitude of Quito. The team will use the CT facilities of Independiente del Valle.

Check out the list of players who traveled to Quito:

• Goalkeepers: Fábio, Felipe Alves and Vitor Eudes
• Defenders: Antonio Carlos, Diogo Barbosa, Felipe Andrade, Felipe Melo, Guga, Manoel, Marcelo, Marlon and Thiago Santos
• Socks: Alexsander, André, David Terans, Gabriel Pires, Lima, Martinelli, PH Ganso and Renato Augusto
• Attackers: Douglas Costa, Germán Cano, Jhon Arias, Keno, Lelê and Marquinhos
