Thiago Silva back in training, set to boost Fluminense in Copa do Brasil | OneFootball

On this Tuesday, Fluminense stepped up their preparation to face Bahia in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals. Recovered from injury, defender Thiago Silva took part in training and is expected to bolster the Rio club.

The Tricolor das Laranjeiras has not yet released the list of players called up for this Thursday's match. However, the defender was present at this week's training sessions – as shown in images released by the club itself – and excites fans with his likely return.

Thiago Silva has not been on the pitch since the beginning of the month, when Fluminense beat Grêmio 1-0, in the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship. On that occasion, the defender felt discomfort in the right thigh region at the end of the match, but stayed on the field until the final whistle.

On Wednesday, before traveling to Salvador, the Rio Tricolor will finalize preparation at the CT Carlos Castilho. This will be the last opportunity for coach Renato Gaúcho to adjust the team and decide who will take the field against the Tricolor de Aço.

Fluminense returns to the field this Thursday, when they visit Fluminense, for the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals. The match is scheduled to take place at 7:30pm (Brasília time), at the Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador.
