Fluminense faces Bahia this Wednesday (10), at 19h (Brasília time), in Maracanã, in a game back from the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Cup. Flu has changes in the lineup and Samuel Xavier is one of the casualties.
Why is Samuel Xavier playing against Bahia?
Right-back Samuel Xavier misses the team due to injury. He injured himself in the first leg against Bahia and is still unable to play. You already do work at the gym with physical therapy, but you should still embezzle the team in some matches.
With the absence, Guga will start again. Samuel Xavier was embezzled against Santos, in the game valid for Brasileirão. In the first leg against Bahia, the side was replaced in the first half.
The player has 39 games in 2025, being the absolute starter of the team of Renato Gaúcho. This season, Samuel Xavier shook the net on five occasions and gave three assists to his companions. The athlete has been in Flu since 2021.
Fluminense lineup: Fábio, Guga, Thiago Silva, Freytes and Renê; Hercules, Martinelli and Nonato; Serna, Canobbio and Everaldo.
