The Tricolor football department was notified about the situation confidentially at the beginning of last week, before the match against Grêmio, in the 20th round. On that occasion, the midfielder started among the XI and played 75 minutes last Sunday.

With no changes to his work routine at CT Carlos Castilho, Acosta is training normally this Tuesday and remains available to the coaching staff for this Wednesday’s match (29), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), against Bahia at the Maracanã, in the 21st round of the Brasileirão.

In addition to the attention focused on matters off the pitch, the coaching staff is also keeping an eye on the disciplinary side: the Argentine is one booking away from suspension, with two yellow cards. If he is booked again against the Bahia Tricolor, he will have to serve an automatic suspension in the derby against Botafogo on August 8.
