River – Embezzlement in Vasco’s 2-1 defeat to Red Bull Bragantino, last Wednesday (17), Gary Medel will also be left out of the classic with Fluminense, this Saturday, at 4pm, at Maracanã. The defender was doubtful for the clash, but has not yet returned from Chile, where he is with his mother, who has health problems.
Initially, Medel would return to Rio on Thursday and train this Friday with a view to the duel against Fluminense, in the Brasileirão. However, his mother’s condition worsened, and he will remain in the country for a longer period.
Another Vasco absence from the classic will be Frenchman Dimitri Payet, who is still recovering from an injury to his right knee. He did some activities on the field during the week, but Ramón Diáz only intends to use the number 10 shirt when he is 100% recovered.
