Why won’t you play Fla-Flu?
Fluminense did not present an official explanation of the absence of the Argentine center forward. According to information from ‘GE’, the decision happened for technical criteria. It is worth remembering that Cano recently lost his mother, but had already returned to the lawns after the mourning.
The absence of shirt 14 draws attention, especially in a classic, where its presence is usually decisive. Only against Flamengo, Cano has eight goals scored, seven by Fluminense and one for Vasco.
The Argentine striker has rocked the net 15 times in the season, including Carioca Championship, Brazilian, Brazilian Cup, South American and Club World.
Return of John Kennedy
Despite the absence of pipe, the news among the summoned to Fla-Flu is John Kennedy. The attacker is back in Fluminense after loan to Pachuca, Mexico. It appears among the listed names and can earn minutes in the classic.
Kennedy returns to the team at an important moment of the season and can be a key piece to replace the absence of pipe. Thus, the young attacker emerges as an option for the offensive sector.
