Renato Gaúcho boosted by full squad for Bahia clash | OneFootball

Renato Gaúcho will have the entire squad at his disposal for the match against Bahia, in Salvador, for the Copa do Brasil, on Thursday (28), at 19h30. This will be the first time since his return to the command of Fluminense in April. This happened because several players recovered and the medical department was emptied.

In the last round of the Brasileiro, against Bragantino, Nonato, Soteldo, and Cano, who had recovered from injuries, returned to the field. The midfielder was out, but now returns as an alternative. In addition, defender Thiago Silva, defender Ignácio, and midfielder Otávio, who had been preserved recently as they were in the process of physical reconditioning, returned to training normally at the CT Carlos Castilho and are available to the technical committee.

The expansion of options alleviates Renato's planning, mainly due to the recent defensive problems, which forced him to improvise with young players from the base in previous weeks. Moreover, the return is relevant considering the phase of the season, as Fluminense remains alive in the three main competitions: Brazilian Championship, Copa do Brasil, and Copa Sudamericana.
