Fluminense has the return of its starters to face Nova Iguaçu, at 9:30 pm, in Luso-Brasileiro, for Carioca. On the other hand, Lelê and Keno were left out of the related list because they were negotiating with other clubs. Vitória is talking to Tricolor about loaning the center forward, while the departure of number 11 could mean relief on the club’s salary bill.

In the 1-0 defeat to Boavista, in the second round of the State Championship, Lelê replaced John Kennedy, who had to leave the field with a sprain in his left ankle. Last year, the center forward was loaned to Dragão and Ceará. He has a contract with the tricolor until the end of 2027.
Keno has not yet played his first game of the year, as he reappeared with the main group on the 8th of this month, but was removed from today’s match. With a contract until the end of this year, the attacker can be released without transfer costs to alleviate Fluminense’s salary bill. In 2025, he left something to be desired, with just six goals and four assists in 40 games.
