The club has ceded Bruno André and Ramon Rique to the Brazilian under-20 national team, while Andrés Gómez has been called up to the Colombian national team. However, Gómez will serve an automatic suspension against Botafogo on October 7 due to receiving his third yellow card in the 5-0 win over Coritiba. The Colombian forward will miss the highly anticipated clash at the Nilton Santos stadium.

Gómez is one of four players from the Brazilian top-flight called up by Colombian coach Néstor Lorenzo for a series of friendly matches in the United States. The team will face Mexico on September 26, Paraguay on October 2, and Peru on October 6.

Bruno André and Ramon Rique, meanwhile, will join the Brazilian under-20 national team for a series of matches in Europe, including fixtures against Denmark, the United States, and Mexico in preparation for the 2027 South American Championship.
