Flamengo and Botafogo face off in the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Carioca

In Botafogo's last game on Wednesday (11), the top scorer Danilo left the field with pain against Fluminense. Thus, there were chances that the midfielder would miss the alvinegro team this Sunday (15) against Flamengo. However, so far, the presence of the midfielder is confirmed, while six other players will be absent.

Therefore, the rival's absences are Allan, who is suspended, and Chris Ramos, Kaio Pantaleão, Marçal, Ponte, and Santi Rodríguez. The last five on the list, however, are in the medical department of the team that plays at Nilton Santos.

Is anyone at risk of suspension in Botafogo?

Among Martin Anselmi's squad, there are no players at risk of suspension. Therefore, except for the absences, the home team should play at full strength at Engenhão against Flamengo coached by Filipe Luís.

How is Botafogo approaching the classic?

If the start of the season for Flamengo could be better, the rival's is not much different. This is because Martin Anselmi's team comes to the match with four consecutive defeats. Among the setbacks, there is even a staggering 5-3 comeback by Grêmio.
