Ganso’s Return After Medical Absence
Ganso has been sidelined since the beginning of the season due to a myocarditis diagnosis, raising concerns about his future on the pitch. After months of recovery and monitoring, he has been cleared to return, joining the list of players available for manager Renato Gaúcho.
Although his return to the bench is confirmed, his starting position remains uncertain and will depend on final physical assessments before the match.

- Goalkeeper: Fábio
- Defenders: Guga, Thiago Silva, Freytes, Renê
- Midfielders: Martinelli, Hércules, Lima
- Attackers: Canobbio, Arias, Cano
Ganso could be a substitute option or start, depending on his match fitness. His presence is expected to boost Fluminense’s creativity and midfield control — areas the team lacked in the opening round.
