Botafogo back in training after derby loss, focus on Brasileirão | OneFootball

This Monday, Botafogo returned to training after a 1-0 defeat in the classic against Fluminense in the Campeonato Carioca, shifting focus to the Brasileirão. The Alvinegro will host Grêmio on Wednesday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Nilton Santos Stadium for the second round of the national competition.

In the images released by the club, it's possible to see the players who did not start among the 11 starters working with the ball on the training ground. It's worth noting that Botafogo fielded a mixed team for Sunday's classic.

For the match against Grêmio, Martín Anselmi is expected to have the full strength of the squad, as only Chris Ramos and Joaquín Correa are injured and continue their recovery in the medical department.

Despite the defeat to Fluminense, Botafogo had an encouraging debut in the Brasileirão. The Glorioso thrashed Cruzeiro 4-0 at Nilton Santos and now seeks a second victory in the competition to remain at the top of the table.
