The Brazilian missed the last two matches of the “armies” due to a problem with the adductor, but since yesterday he has been training at almost full speed with his teammates.
The 33-year-old Karanta is a real nightmare for the “Blues”. He has scored in his last three appearances in the big derby of Bulgarian football. In total, he has 7 matches against Levski, in which he scored four goals and made one assist. He also scored in CSKA’s 2:0 win over the Blues on April 7. The Brazilian is the foreigner with the most goals in the eternal derby.
In recent days, there was tension in the camp of the “reds” precisely because of Karanga. The reason for this is the football player’s visit to a nightclub in the capital before the match against Arda, in which the Brazilian was not in the group due to injury.
CSKA investigated the case and watched videos and photos from the disco, which proved the presence of the Brazilian. As a result, Fernando Karanga was summoned to a meeting with the bosses on Monday, Blitz reports.
The striker will almost certainly start as a starter for the “armies” against Levski and will try to get revenge in front of the fans and the bosses for his unprofessional act. However, he will have to be very careful, as he has accumulated four cards and with a new one in the eternal derby will misses the semi-final rematch for the Bulgarian Cup against Botev (Plovdiv) on May 1.
