After Tuesday afternoon's training session at Gávea Stadium, coach Andrade did not reveal who will replace defender Ronaldo Angelim for Sunday's derby against Botafogo at Engenhão Stadium. The coach said he will wait until moments before the match for Álvaro, who is recovering from knee pain.

"I have a few options for the team. I haven't finalized anything yet, and I'll consider them during training this week. We have Welinton and Fabrício to fill Angelim's spot, and we could also have Álvaro, who is recovering very well. I believe I can count on him. Toró will likely play in Willians's place. The rest of the team is the same, and we've gained options like Fierro and Gil, who should be on the bench."
