Botafogo lost to Fluminense this Thursday at Maracanã. The result was the second consecutive defeat for the alvinegros in the Brazilian Championship.
Besides the negative result, Botafogo fans were left with a concern. This is because midfielder Danilo left the field in the final minutes with a thigh problem.
Danilo hit the post with a free kick and immediately felt his thigh. The player did not return to the match, leaving the alvinegra team with ten players because coach Martín Anselmi had already made all the substitutions.
In addition to Danilo, midfielder Allan also left the field in the first half with a physical problem. Now, both will be evaluated by the medical department.
Botafogo is facing a series of decisive matches. This Sunday, the team will face Flamengo in the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Carioca. Next Wednesday, the challenge will be in the Pré-Libertadores against Nacional Potosí-BOL, at high altitude.
