3 absentees and 1 on a yellow: see how Flamengo line up against Botafogo | OneFootball

What are Flamengo’s absences for the match against Botafogo?

Flamengo faces Botafogo this Saturday (14th), for the sixth round of the Brazilian Championship. For the match, which takes place at 8:30 pm (Brasília time) at Estádio Nilton Santos, coach Leonardo Jardim will be without three players, in addition to having one player ‘at risk’ of suspension.

Starting with the absences. Saúl Ñíguez continues to follow the schedule set by Flamengo’s Medical Department after undergoing surgery on his left heel. Given this situation, the Spaniard’s return to the pitch remains uncertain.
