Fluminense released the list of players for the match against Sporting Cristal, from Peru, which takes place this Tuesday (27), at 21:00, in Maracanã. For the game, valid for the last round of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, Fluminense will have the return of Felipe Melo and André, absent in the match against Bahia last Saturday (24).

The defender, who just turned 40, returns after being absent from Fluminense’s last three games after claiming pain in his right knee. André returns after being suspended in the match against Bahia, valid for the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship.

As for embezzlement, Fluminense will not count Jorge and Alexsander, injured, Vitor Mendes, preemptively removed for being involved in the match-fixing scandal, and Manoel, suspended for doping.

Fluminense needs a win or draw against Sporting Cristal to qualify for the round of 16 and, probably, maintain the leadership of the group. In case of defeat, the club from Laranjeiras can still qualify, having to cheer against River Plate’s victory or a triumph of The Strongest by more than four goals apart.
