Thiago Silva left out of trip for Bragantino clash in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Recovering from an injury to the back of his right thigh, Thiago Silva will not return to the field for Fluminense this Saturday (23), against Red Bull Bragantino, in Bragança Paulista. The information was published by journalist Venê Casgrande on this Friday (22).

The 40-year-old defender has not played since August 2, when Tricolor beat Grêmio 2-1, at Maracanã. Since then, he has been undergoing treatment in the medical department, but this week he has already returned to training normally with the group.

The idea of coach Renato Gaúcho is to preserve the captain so that he is in full condition for the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, against Bahia, scheduled for Thursday (28), in Salvador.
