WE ARE WATCHING YOU! CUIABÁ IS AT RISK OF LOSING 4 PLAYERS FOR THE GAME AGAINST FLAMENGO

In the current round of the Brasileirão, Cuiabá hosts Botafogo, but is already at risk of having four absences against Flamengo, on Saturday, the 6th, at Maracanã, at 8pm (Brasília time). This is because four players are suspended in the clash against the Black and Whites this Wednesday (3): André Luís, Fernando Sobral, Filipe Augusto and Raylan.

Therefore, if they are warned with yellow cards, the Dourado athletes will be out of the duel against Mengão next weekend. Even if he knows about the possibility of absences against Flamengo, coach Petit should enter the field against Botafogo with two names on the list: Fernando Sobral and Filipe Augusto.

Cuiabá's likely team to face Botafogo is composed of: Walter; Matheus Alexandre, Marllon, Alan Empereur and Ramon; Filipe Augusto, Fernando Sobral and Denilson; Jonathan Cafú, Clayson and Isidro Pitta. Flamengo already has two hanging in this round: defender Léo Ortiz and midfielder Allan. Rubro-Negro faces Atlético-MG, at Arena MRV.

Of the four Cuiabá names that are suspended: André Luís, Fernando Sobral, Filipe Augusto and Raylan, only three play frequently. Between midfielders Sobral and Filipe Augusto, Filipe has been gaining more opportunities in the starting team, being selected as a starter in the last two rounds.

However, even though he is a reserve, Fernando Sobral was used in all of the last five games . In this clip, Raylan was a starter in the 1-1 draw against Red Bull Bragantino, but came off the bench in the matches against São Paulo (1-0 win) and Atlético-GO (0-0 draw).

Forward André Luís doesn't play often, but received yellow cards against Criciúma and Red Bull Bragantino, when entering the second stage.
