The lively recreational training session this Saturday morning at Gávea was only marred by two medical issues. Defender Irineu, suffering from pain caused by a blow to his left thigh, did not participate in the activity. However, he is expected to be fit to face Botafogo. Striker Souza, meanwhile, is now doubtful for this Sunday's derby. He experienced muscle pain in his left thigh during the training session. He was examined on the Gávea field and left the training session. The player will undergo treatment at the training camp and will be re-evaluated this Sunday morning. According to coach Ney Franco, Paulo Sérgio and Leonardo are the options if Souza is unable to play.
