On Tuesday afternoon (20), Flamengo held its final training session before the match against Botafogo-PB, in the second leg of the Third Phase of the Copa do Brasil.

Coach Filipe Luís is expected to field a mixed team, resting some players for the game against Palmeiras on Sunday (25), for the Brasileirão.

The exam ruled out surgical injuries and the player has already started treatment at the CT.
