Flamengo missing 3 players with 1 doubt for Botafogo clash in the Carioca | OneFootball

Flamengo and Botafogo face off at 5:30 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (15th)

Flamengo is approaching another commitment this season. This Sunday (15th), the Rubro-Negro will face Botafogo at Nilton Santos Stadium, in the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Carioca. For the match, coach Filipe Luís has three confirmed absences and is still awaiting a decision on the condition of one more player.

Saúl remains out as he recovers from surgery on his left ankle. In addition, Jorginho has been diagnosed with an injury to the posterior muscle of his left thigh and will also not be available.

On the other hand, De La Cruz will not play because he has restrictions regarding synthetic pitches, such as the one at Nilton Santos Stadium. Thus, Filipe Luís will need to adjust the team to make up for these absences.

AND THE DOUBT?

Luiz Araújo has missed Flamengo’s last three matches due to muscle pain in his right thigh. Now, the forward is undergoing physical conditioning and awaits a final evaluation to determine whether or not he will be included in the squad list.
