What is Botafogo's reinforcement for the match against Flamengo in the Brasileirão?

Marçal missed Botafogo's last two games in the Brasileirão due to muscle pain in his right thigh. However, the left-back has returned to normal training with his teammates during the FIFA Date and has a chance to start against Flamengo.

WILL MARÇAL START IN THE FLAMENGO VS BOTAFOGO MATCH?

Recovered and cleared to play again, Marçal is competing for the left-back position with Cuiabano. However, the final decision on whether the player will be on the field this Wednesday (15) is in the hands of coach Davide Ancelotti.

DOES BOTAFOGO HAVE ABSENCES FOR THE MATCH AGAINST FLAMENGO?

Yes! Starting with Newton, who is serving an automatic suspension, and Danilo, who is still recovering from an injury. Álvaro Montoro is another absence, as he fractured his shoulder while playing for Argentina in the U-20 World Cup.

Vitinho became a last-minute absence for Botafogo. This is because the team from General Severiano gave up on the logistics of bringing the full-back, who was serving the Brazilian National Team, in time for the classic with Flamengo. Finally, Alex Telles is still uncertain due to a knee injury.
