Fluminense: Is Cano injured? Why aren’t you playing against Ceará?

Germán Cano is one of Fluminense’s absences for the duel with Ceará, this Sunday (2/11), in a game valid for the 31st round of the Brasileirão. Coach Zubeldía launched an attack with Serna, Canobbio and John Kennedy for a duel at Arena Castelão, in Fortaleza.

Why isn’t Cano playing against Ceará?

Cano suffered a sprain in his right knee, the same problem he faced in August, and has already started treatment. Fluminense did not set a recovery period.

The team’s top scorer this season with 20 goals, the Argentine center forward has been suffering from injuries since last year. In April, he suffered a strain on the medial collateral ligament in his left knee and was out for almost two months.

After almost two months, Cano returned to play only in the Club World Cup, in June. In August, he suffered a sprain in his right knee and underwent conservative treatment. At the time, he only lost the classic against Flamengo and made a quick recovery.

The other medical absences are Paulo Henrique Ganso (in transition), defender Manoel (under treatment on his left knee) and Riquelme Felipe (pain in his right shoulder). Captain Thiago Silva was left out of the list due to load control. Bernal and Lucho Acosta are suspended.
