Fluminense delivered a new headache and a good update for coach Fernando Diniz. The bad news comes from Renato Augusto, who once again felt a physical problem and will not travel with the delegation to Chile, where they will face Colo-Colo, this Thursday, in the 4th round of the Conmebol Libertadores group stage. The good thing is that Keno is back on the related list.

Renato Augusto’s absence comes after the midfielder felt pain in his right knee, after the match against Atlético-MG, last Saturday, in the Brasileirão. He is still undergoing treatment at CT Carlos Castilho and has no expected return date. Keno is recovering from a sprained left ankle.

Something new is for defender Thiago Santos: he will not travel to Chile, but the expectation is that he will be released to face São Paulo, next Monday, at Morumbi, in the Brazilian Championship. Samuel Xavier, Marlon and Gabriel Pires are still undergoing treatment.

On the other hand, striker Lelê underwent surgery to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee and repair the lateral and medial meniscus. The procedure was carried out by the Fluminense medical team and was successful. The athlete will complete the post-operative period and follow his treatment schedule.

In the 2024 edition, Fluminense debuted with a 1-1 away draw against Alianza Lima (PER). At home, they defeated Colo-Colo 2-1 before drawing again in a Libertadores game, this time time with Cerro Porteño (PAR).

Tricolor is the current leader of group A, with five points. This Thursday’s opponent, Colo-Colo has the same four points as Cerro Porteño, third place, but with one more goal scored. Alianza Lima is at the bottom of the group, with two points added.
