Coach Caio Júnior took advantage of this afternoon's training session in Gávea to experiment with the team. Later, in the press conference, he stated that he has some doubts about Saturday's game against Figueirense.

"I really have some doubts. I tested some players on the team like Maxi, Obina, Marcinho, and Jônatas. Ibson is confirmed in the team, but I'll wait to decide on the rest. I have a lot of quality players in midfield, and it's not possible to play everyone. For the rest of the Brazilian Championship, the quality of the squad is very important. It's what makes the difference."

Caio Júnior lamented Renato Augusto's absence from today's training session. According to the manager, the number 10 would have been given a chance in Saturday's game.

"I was very upset about Renato's problem. The plan was for him to start against Figueirense. He trained for 30 minutes yesterday and felt some muscle discomfort. We can't take any risks, and he'll only play if he's 100%."
