On Monday, Botafogo continued preparations for the match against Nacional Potosí in the second phase of the Pre-Libertadores, which will take place next Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in Potosí. The Alvinegro held activities on Bolivian soil for the second time.

Shorthanded squad

Only a few athletes from the delegation trained on Bolivian soil. The rest of the team, including coach Martín Anselmi, have not yet practiced on the field in the city of Potosí due to the match against Flamengo for the Campeonato Carioca, which took place last Sunday. On that occasion, the Alvinegro was defeated 2-1 at Nilton Santos Stadium.

The other part of the squad, which is mostly made up of youth players, arrived in Bolivia on Saturday and has already trained at altitude. The city of Potosí is located 4,090 meters above sea level.
