Flamengo is ready for their first Brasileirão clásico against Botafogo since 2020 and will have a number of absences for the match held at the Mané Garrincha.
Pedro felt muscle discomfort in the adductor muscle of the thigh late in the week and will miss out as a precaution.
Santos, on the other hand, has quadriceps injury and will miss out, electing to undergo treatment.
Matheuzinho, Matheus França, Gustavo Henrique, Fabrício Bruno, and Vitinho have longer-term injuries and will remain in Rio.
It’s worth remembering that the match will be held at the Mané Garrincha as the Maracanã is closed while they lay down a new pitch.
