This Monday, Botafogo continued preparations for the return match against Nacional Potosí in the second phase of the Pre-Libertadores, which will be next Wednesday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Nilton Santos Stadium. The Alvinegro, who lost the first game 1-0, featured the new signing Christian Medina during the activity.

Will he play?

Despite participating in activities with the squad, Medina will not be able to play in next Wednesday's match. The Argentine is not yet registered for the Libertadores and will only be available in the next phases if Botafogo advances.

Announced last Friday, the midfielder signed a contract with Botafogo until the end of 2029. Playing for Estudiantes de La Plata last season, Medina appeared in 43 matches, scored no goals, and contributed two assists. This year, he has participated in five matches and provided one assist.
