Rafael has a serious injury and will be re-evaluated by Botafogo

With another victory in the Brazilian championship, Botafogo have reason to regret: a serious injury to right-back Rafael. Glorioso’s number 2 was injured in the first half of a 2-0 win over Vasco, at Nilton Santos, for the 13th round of the competition.

“The athlete Rafael suffered a serious injury to his left knee and is being assisted by Juventus doctors.




Forward Tiquinho Soares, top scorer of the team and in the competition with ten goals, dedicated the victory to his friend Rafael. It is worth mentioning that the right-back suffered another serious injury in 2022 and has gone seven months without acting, only returning this season.

“This victory goes to Rafa, our friend had a little problem. I’m sure he will get out of this situation. I congratulate Botafogo. We still have a lot to conquer in the quest for the title,” commented Tiquinho.

Without Rafael, Botafogo is back on the pitch now against Grêmio, the vice leaders of the Brazilian championship. The gap between the two is seven points: 33 to 26 points. The ball will roll, it’s worth remembering, Sunday (09), at 6.30pm. In the middle of the week, however, the Tricolor Gaúcho will play a duel against Bahia for the Copa do Brasil.
