Tiquinho will miss Botafogo against Flamengo on Sunday

Number 9 suffered an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh.

One of the few negative points of Botafogo’s important 3-1 victory over Universitario, last Wednesday (24), in a match valid for the third round of the Libertadores group stage, was the injury to Tiquinho Soares in the first half, forced to leave the field before 10 minutes of play. According to journalist Jéssica Maldonado of the “GE” website, the attacker suffered an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh.

The examination of the images of the shirt 9 has not yet been completed, it will give details on the severity and recovery times, the player will be absent from Alvinegro in the classic match against Flamengo, next Sunday (28th), at 11am, in a match valid for the 4th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The striker’s injury increases Artur Jorge’s worries about the role. The club had already lost star Matheus Nascimento, who suffered a hamstring injury in his left thigh and will be out of action for four months, while Janderson was sold to Vitória in the final days of the window.

In the match against Universitario, the Portuguese opted for Eduardo instead of Tiquinho. The number 33, a midfielder by origin, played as a second striker, while Júnior Santos, who played in this role, was the team’s main centre-forward. Being out of the signing period, the club will have to find alternatives within the squad and in its youth categories.

Since the arrival of Artur Jorge, the number 11 has played centrally and has had the freedom to float to the sides of the pitch. The trend is for Júnior Santos to play centrally in the next matches.
