Botafogo lineup against Bragantino
There are doubts for the duel. Defender Kaio Pantaleão and left-back Cuiabano had problems in the game against Cruzeiro, last Sunday (03/03), and may not play this Wednesday. Kaio left the departure in the break with pain in his right thigh. Already Cuiabano, who entered the final stage, received blow to the left ankle and ended the departure in the sacrifice.
If Kaio Pantaleão does not act, who should play is David Ricardo, who entered the cruise.
Goalkeeper John has advanced negotiations with the West Ham-Ag and should be sold soon for 10 million euros (R $ 63.8 million). It is likely that it will not even be related, with Leo Linck entering the team.
The midfielder Danilo made his debut against Cruzeiro, but has no physical condition to play for 90 minutes. Allan must be a starter again.
In front, the offensive quartet formed by Savarino (photo), Artur, Montoro and Arthur Cabral must be maintained.
Spared from the match against Cruzeiro due to pain in the groin region, striker Nathan Fernandes is uncomfortable and will be related.
Probable Botafogo lineup: Leo Linck (John); Vitinho, Barboza, David Ricardo (Kaio Pantaleão), Alex Telles; Allan, Marlon Freitas, Savarino; Artur, Montoro and Arthur Cabral. Technical: Davide Ancelotti.
