Fluminense vs Al Hilal last Lineups: 

Fluminense & Al Hilal Squad Analysis

Fluminense will be required to compete in this match without left-back Rene, who is unavailable due to a yellow-card suspension. This situation will create a void on the left side of their 3-4-1-2 formation, with Gabriel Fuentes expected to take over his position.

The attacking line will be spearheaded by the 37-year-old German Cano, who has recorded one goal and one assist in his three appearances in this tournament. The Argentine striker has played a crucial role in Fluminense’s achievements since his arrival at the club in 2022, culminating in the Copa Libertadores championship in 2023.

Cano has proven to be a formidable asset for the Tricolor, scoring a total of 106 goals in 200 matches. His successful recovery from a knee injury has significantly contributed to the Brazilians’ efforts to advance to the quarter-finals.

Marcos Leonardo has scored three goals in his previous two matches for Al Hilal!

The Brazilian forward consistently posed a threat to Manchester City, operating as Al Hilal’s sole striker in the 4-2-3-1 setup. He took advantage of the dynamic runs along the wings by Malcom and Mohamed Kanno.

Leonardo’s impressive performance has concealed the absence of the influential striker Salem Al-Dawsari, who is unavailable for the tournament. Musab Al Juwayr was introduced as a late substitute during the victory over City and will be eager for more playing time in this match. Additionally, another prominent player absent for Al Hilal is the Serbian forward Aleksandar Mitrovic, who has yet to participate in this tournament.
