Botafogo arrives for one of the most important games of the first semester, against LDU, this Wednesday, at 9:30 pm, at Nilton Santos, with a series of important absences in the offensive sector. Without Tiquinho and Matheus Nascimento, coach Artur Jorge will also be without Eduardo, who had been occupying the sector.
Botafogo needs to find a solution for the attack after injuries
The number 33 adds to an extensive list of players who are not available for this match, they are: full-backs Rafael and Marçal, and defender Pablo, in addition to the three already mentioned, all injured. Midfielder Kauê remains away after being reported for assault by his ex-girlfriend.
On the other hand, the coach must once again have Tchê Tchê available for the match. The midfielder missed the last two games with an intestinal infection, but has now recovered and returned to training with his teammates.
As a result, the tendency is for the Portuguese to continue using what he called a “mobile attack” in the match against LDU in Conmebol Libertadores.
Probable lineup: John, Damián Suárez, Halter, Bastos and Hugo; Danilo Barbosa (Gregore), Marlon Freitas, Luiz Henrique and Jeffinho; Savarino and Júnior Santos.
Botafogo ends a sequence of seven matches in Rio de Janeiro this Wednesday and will now have a sequence of long trips, with five of six matches away from home.
