Fluminense and Palmeiras named for Maracanã clash

Fluminense and Palmeiras have confirmed their starting lineups for Saturday’s 23rd-round Brasileirão match at Rio’s Maracanã. The game is also sandwiched between important Copa Libertadores fixtures for both clubs. Fluminense’s selection comes after Luis Zubeldía’s dismissal; Millán, Thiago Silva and Jemmes are available again, but only Jemmes starts to form the center-back partnership with Igor Rabello. In attack, Canobbio, Soteldo and Hulk start, while Castillo is on the bench. Palmeiras, under Abel Ferreira, has made only two changes from midweek’s Libertadores lineup: Gustavo Gómez and Giay start in place of Barboza and Emiliano Martínez. Jhon Arias, Allan, Flaco López and Vitor Roque lead the attack.
