After the 4-0 win over Internacional , this Sunday (11), coach Renato Paiva confirmed that Botafogo will have important absences in the next matches against Estudiantes , for the Libertadores, and Flamengo , for the Brazilian Championship.
In a press conference, the coach stated that Alexander Barboza , Matheus Martins and Savarino are out of both matches. The trio, considered starters, are still recovering in the medical department.
It won't be for the next games..."
“ I can’t tell you (when they’ll be back), but it won’t be for the next games, certainly. Savarino, Barboza and Mateus, right? It won’t be for the next games, at least not Flamengo and Estudiantes,” declared the Portuguese coach.
Barboza suffered an injury to his left foot on April 30, in a match against Capital-DF , for the Copa do Brasil. In the same match, Savarino suffered a muscle injury in his right thigh . Matheus Martins is recovering from a problem in his left thigh.
In addition to them, Gonzalo Mastriani and Bastos are also out of action and will hardly be available for the classic against Flamengo, next Sunday (18), at 6:30 pm, at Maracanã.
Botafogo and Flamengo are facing pressure in the group stage of the Libertadores . Botafogo could be eliminated this Wednesday (14), if they lose to Estudiantes at Engenhão and Universidad de Chile beats Carabobo-VEN. In this scenario, Alvinegro would no longer have a chance of reaching the classification zone.
Flamengo's situation is similar. A defeat to LDU on Thursday (15) at Maracanã, combined with a victory for Central Córdoba over Deportivo Táchira in Venezuela, would also mean early elimination for Rubro-Negro. Despite the pressure, both teams have an advantage: the last two games of the group stage will be played in Rio de Janeiro, with the support of their fans.

This Sunday (17), Internacional and Flamengo face each other at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Beira-Rio Stadium, for the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship. Coach Roger Machado will have to deal with important absences and adjust the team for the clash against Mais Querido.
Internacional will be without six players for the match against Flamengo : Tabata (suspended), Carbonero (left thigh injury), Mercado (right calf injury), Ivan (left knee arthroscopy), Bruno Gomes (left knee surgery) and Lucca Drummond (right knee surgery).

Internacional is expected to field: Rochet; Alan Benítez, Clayton Sampaio, Victor Gabriel, and Bernabei; Luis Otávio, Bruno Henrique, Gustavo Prado, and Vitinho; Borré and Valencia. The team may also make some changes for its Copa Libertadores campaign.
Internacional is in 12th place with six wins, six draws, and six losses. Flamengo leads the competition with 40 points , seeking to maintain its advantage over its direct competitors in the title race.
Colorado is expected to make important changes to the team that faces Mais Querido, in a direct clash for the Brasileirão, this Sunday.
