Colombian Orlando Berrío, one of the best on the field in Flamengo's 0-0 draw against Botafogo on Wednesday night (16), still does not know if he will be in the return game, scheduled for next week. With a sprained right ankle, the athlete will be re-evaluated at the George Helal Training Center, Ninho do Urubu, this Thursday.

"I'm having pain when walking and I'm worried about the upcoming matches. I want to play on Saturday and in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil, especially since it's a home semifinal with our fans. I'll do everything I can to come back, work hard, and if that's not possible, I'll continue cheering for my teammates," said Berrío.

Flamengo's next match is scheduled for Saturday (19), when Rubro-Negro hosts Atlético-GO at Ilha do Urubu, at 19 pm. On Wednesday (23), Mais Querido will face Botafogo again for the second leg of the Copa do Brasil semi-final, at 21:45 pm, at Maracanã.
