With an eye on the Carioca semifinal, Fluminense may have two more important absences in its starting lineup to face Flamengo
O Fluminense needs to reverse a result of two goals difference against Flamengo. Last season, Tricolor was in a similar situation, but in the final of Carioca Championship, and managed to reassemble it. Now, in the semifinals, the club needs to seek victory to qualify for the decision and can enter the field without two starters.
Throughout this week, fully focused on the second match of the Carioca semi-final, Paulo Henrique Ganso It is Germán Cano did not participate in some activities with the rest of the group. Therefore, the presence of the two players in Fla-Flu is still unknown, but both should be, at least, on the bench available for Fernando Diniz.
According to ‘GE’, Ganso has a calf problem, which led to the midfielder being spared from the first activities of the week. However, even with this period, the player does not seem to be in the best condition yet. On the other hand, Cano has been complaining of pain in his knee and it is not possible to say that the top scorer will be on the field against Flamengo.
If the duo is unable to start playing in the semi-final, the changes seem to be very obvious for Fernando Diniz. Taking into account the technician’s pattern of substitutions, lime must be chosen for Ganso’s position, while John Kennedy enters as a starter in the attack.
In addition to the two doubts, Fluminense also has a list of certain absences for the classic, such as Samuel Xavier, Marlon It is Douglas Costa, all with confirmed muscle injuries. In addition to the trio, Thiago Santos he will not be able to play in the second game, as he was sent off in the first game.
