Riquelme Felipe will not participate in Fluminense′s match against Independiente Rivadavia on Tuesday in Argentina, in the first leg of the Libertadores round of 16. The meia-atacante felt a groin pain during Sunday′s training and did not travel to Mendoza. After controversy this week concerning his status at the club, the young Xerém product, considered a prospect for the Brazilian national team around 2026, remains marginalized in Fluminense′s plans.
