Deco is set to return to action for Fluminense’s Brasileirão encounter with Internacional this Sunday.
The former Portugal international has been sidelined since injuring a muscle in his right thigh against Botafogo three weeks ago.
Deco has been training for over a week, but Fluminense’s assistant coach Cristiano Nunes has confirmed the club’s management staff do not want to rush the 34-year-old back for Wednesday’s game against Santos.
”Deco has still not fully recovered and we don’t want to risk playing him too early,” he told reporters.
