Corinthians lose Jaqueline to knee injury for Cruzeiro decider in Brasileirão Feminino | OneFootball

On Monday, Corinthians face Cruzeiro at 17:00 at Canindé for a place in the semi-finals, but will be without forward Jaqueline because of a right knee chondropathy.

According to Meu Timao, the condition involves wear or softening of the cartilage behind the patella, causing pain at the front of the knee.

Jaqueline has scored 13 goals in 27 matches this year, leading the club’s charts. Gabi Zanotti, on 11, starts.

Jaqueline, the number 30, is in the medical department alongside midfielder Ana Vitória, who is receiving treatment for an abdominal muscle injury sustained against Internacional in late August.

Even without their leading scorer, Corinthians can advance without finding the net thanks to their first-leg win. Last Monday, Vic Albuquerque struck at Arena Independência to hand them the advantage, so a draw secures passage.

Should they progress, Corinthians will meet Bahia, who knocked out Palmeiras on penalties. The club are pursuing their eighth national title.
