Current champion of the Libertadores, Fluminense begins the journey to seek the second title of the continental competition against Allianza Lima (Peru), starting at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) this Wednesday (3) at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium, in Lima. A National Radio broadcasts the confrontation live.
Top seed in Group A of the tournament, the Laranjeiras team debuts away from home. For this match, coach Fernando Diniz has several problems, as he will not be able to count on the suspended John Kennedy (striker) and Diogo Barbosa (full-back) and the injured Paulo Henrique Ganso (midfielder), Germán Cano (striker), Manoel (defender). ), Marlon (defender), Keno (striker) and Gabriel Pires (midfielder).
Despite the absences, full-back Samuel Xavier, in a press conference, expressed confidence in a good performance in the Libertadores debut: “It’s bad to lose athletes due to injury, but that’s part of football. We believe a lot in our squad.”
With so many absences, coach Fernando Diniz will have to adopt an alternative formation, in which there is the possibility of giving up the presence of a regular center forward: Fábio; Samuel Xavier, Felipe Melo, Thiago Santos and Marcelo; André, Martinelli and Renato Augusto; Jhon Arias, Douglas Costa and Lelê (Marquinhos).
Fluminense will face the current 6th placed team in the Opening Championship of the Colombian Championship, who arrives motivated after a 3-0 victory over Club Deportivo los Chankas last Thursday (28).
