Eduardo Baptista terá três retornos na quarta-feira, quando o Inter encara o Fluminense às 19h30, no Maracanã, pela 33ª rodada do Brasileirão: Mercado, Villagra e Vitinho ficaram de fora por suspensão no 3 a 0 sobre o Botafogo e voltam agora.
O treinamento de segunda-feira pela manhã já foi montado com esse trio. No gol, Matheus Cunha está à disposição, mas perdeu terreno; Kauan Jesus, que fez três defesas e foi abraçado pela torcida no último jogo, segue titular.
Na zaga, Maripán vira alternativa após a formação com Bruno Gomes e Juninho. No meio, Villagra entra na vaga de Ronaldo. Na frente, Vitinho completa o setor ao lado de Alan Patrick e Alerrandro.
A dúvida é na ala esquerda. Bernabei subiu mais contra o Botafogo, marcou o último gol e chegou a 10 na temporada, virando o artilheiro do time; Matheus Bahia, mais marcador, abriu o placar no sábado.
A provável formação: Kauan Jesus; Bruno Gomes, Mercado e Juninho; Aguirre, Villagra, Thiago Maia e Bernabei (Matheus Bahia); Vitinho e Alan Patrick; Alerrandro.
A última atividade antes do jogo acontece na terça-feira pela manhã, e o grupo viaja ao Rio na sequência.
