Thiago Silva cleared to rejoin Fluminense for match vs Grêmio

Brazilian defender Thiago Silva was officially entered into the CBF's Boletim Informativo Diário (BID) on Monday, confirming his eligibility to play for Fluminense. The 41‑year‑old, returning from a short stint with Porto in Portugal, is expected to be available for the team's upcoming Serie A clash against Grêmio on Sunday at 18:30 in Porto Alegre, the 20th round of the championship.

Fluminense, currently third in the league with 32 points, may start Silva in central defence if injured teammates Julián Millán and Jemmes are unavailable. His experience and leadership are seen as a boost to the club's defensive line for the remainder of the season.
