Millán has a grade 2 thigh strain and is out for Fluminense
Fluminense said Julián Millán has a grade 2 strain in the adductor of his right thigh, with an estimated recovery of four to six weeks, which could rule him out of the final matches of 2026. The centre-back was hurt in the Libertadores semifinal against Palmeiras and has played 18 games this season, 15 of them as a starter.

O Fluminense informou nesta sexta-feira que Julián Millán tem lesão de grau 2 no adutor da coxa direita. O diagnóstico chega na reta final da temporada e deixa o sistema defensivo do Tricolor das Laranjeiras em alerta para as rodadas decisivas.
Pelo comunicado oficial, o tempo estimado de recuperação fica entre quatro e seis semanas. Dentro dessa previsão, o zagueiro pode não voltar a atuar em 2026, o que significa risco real de desfalque nos últimos compromissos do ano.
O problema apareceu no duelo com o Palmeiras, pela semifinal da Libertadores. O jogo de volta terminou 1 a 0 para o Fluminense, no Nubank Parque, e a vaga acabou decidida nos pênaltis, com eliminação do time carioca.
O placar não bastou para desfazer a vantagem que os paulistas haviam construído no primeiro jogo, vencido por 2 a 1 no Maracanã. A campanha continental tricolor terminou ali.
Chegado do Nacional, do Uruguai, no início do ano, Millán demorou a encontrar espaço e passou os primeiros meses sem sequência com a camisa do clube.
A situação mudou depois da saída de Zubeldía e da efetivação de Marcão. Com mais oportunidades, o zagueiro virou titular e passou a formar dupla com Thiago Silva.
Ao longo de 2026, ele entrou em campo 18 vezes pelo Fluminense, sendo 15 delas como titular — números que explicam o peso da ausência neste momento do calendário.
A baixa se soma à de Martinelli, que precisou passar por cirurgia. Com isso, a comissão técnica ganha mais uma preocupação para montar a equipe nas rodadas restantes do ano.
