Botafogo midfielder Edenilson sidelined with thigh injury

Botafogo has confirmed that midfielder Edenilson has suffered a muscular injury in his right thigh. The club estimates a recovery period of four to six weeks.

The injury occurred during the club's recent match against Mirassol, which also marked the debut of head coach Tite. Edenilson had reportedly been experiencing physical discomfort prior to the match, in which he played the entire second half.

If the recovery follows the more conservative timeline, Edenilson may only return to the squad in late October, potentially between rounds 33 and 34 of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Botafogo currently sits in 12th place with 35 points and is scheduled to face Vasco on October 7.
