Arthur โฃCabral โis a doubt for โ Botafogo‘s โSunday (october 19th) match against Cearรก at Arena Castelรฃo. Theโค forward sustained a left hand injuryโ during the first half of last week’s game โagainst Flamengo and completed the โmatch with his hand immobilized.
Should Cabral be unable โขto play, chris Ramos is expected to start. Headโ coach Davide Ancelotti is also considering options โขin the attack, โweighing โขwhether to start Artur or โ Jeffinho.
Newton โขis eligible to returnโข after completing a suspension, as is vitinho, โฃwho was away on international duty with โthe Brazilian national team.โข however, Alexander Barboza and โ Marlon Freitas are both suspended due to โคaccumulated yellow cards.
Botafogo’s probable starting lineup is: Leo Linck; Vitinho, Marรงalโค (Gabriel Bahia),โค David Ricardo โand cuiabano; Newton, Allan and โคSavarino; Santi Rodrรญguez, Chris Ramos andโ Artur (Jeffinho).
The team will hold โa final training session on Saturday before traveling โto Fortaleza for theโค 29th round of the Brazilian championship.
