Botafogo was working to count on Danilo in the match against Fortaleza, this Sunday (7), at 4 p.m. (Brasilia time), at Nilton Santos, on the last day of the Brazilian Championship. However, the midfielder has not recovered from a left thigh muscle injury and is missing from the Rio squad. The information comes from the “ge” portal.
The player felt the region in the first half of the match against Grêmio, last Saturday (22). Since then, he has started his treatment on the reserve bench and prioritized his stay in CT to complete three shifts focused on rapid recovery.
Additionally, the athlete extended the treatment to his home. He followed the advice of complete rest and use of equipment that helps reduce pain and heal muscle injuries.
Danilo even improved, but still couldn’t get on the field. Internally, the decision was to retain him for the next season, which will have a new calendar, with the Brasileirão in January.
Finally, the player was essential during the triumphs against Sport and Grêmio, with three assists. He therefore started under Davide Ancelotti, but failed to be in good physical shape during the last rounds. The team must beat Fortaleza and hope for a draw between Fluminense and Bahia to enter the G5.
