Botafogo released this Tuesday the list of players called up for the team’s debut in the pre-Libertadores against Nacional de Potosí, at the altitude of Bolivia.

Midfielder Danilo, a standout for Glorioso this season, who was substituted at the end of the first half during the elimination against Flamengo in the Cariocão quarterfinals last Sunday, and forward Arthur Cabral will not travel to Bolivia due to “medical reasons.” Another significant absence is midfielder Allan, who has been injured since the match against Fluminense last Thursday.
