O Botafogo informed that the defender Joel Carli will not be available to the technician Luís Castro for the classic against the FlamengoSunday, at 11 am, at Estádio Mané Garrincha, in Brasília, for the fifth round of the Brazilian championship.
The Argentine is already training normally with his teammates, recovered from inflammation and bone swelling in his right ankle. However, as he hasn’t played for almost two months – since the match against Volta Redonda, for the State, in early March -, he still needs time to recondition.
The defense is a problem for Sunday’s game. Victor Cuesta must be a starter, but his companion is still unknown: Philipe Sampaio suffered a knee injury, Kanu is in the transition phase after recovering from a thigh injury and the options would boil down to Klaus, Lucas Mezenga e Dude.
