The goalkeeper suffered a trauma to his left hand during Thursday’s defeat against Democrata-GV and had to be substituted at halftime, raising the alarm at Toca da Raposa. He will undergo further evaluations up until match day.

“I am worried, yes. I even avoided talking about it, but the medical department will provide the details,” commented Tite.

During the match against Democrata, Otávio took over as the starting goalkeeper. He will be in the lineup against Galo if Cássio does not recover. “I’m calm if Otávio has to play; he will have all our confidence,” declared Tite.
