Cruzeiro make changes to face Vitória in the Brasileirão, see line-up | OneFootball

First of all, Cruzeiro heads into the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship with changes to the team facing Vitória this Sunday at 4 p.m. at Barradão. Artur Jorge will have Jonathan Jesus back, but he will be without Lucas Romero, who felt muscle pain during the week.

Lucas Romero left the match against Santos last weekend with calf pain. Tests carried out afterward did not detect an injury, but the Argentine defensive midfielder was unable to take part normally in all training sessions.

Jonathan Jesus is back

After missing the last two matches, Jonathan Jesus is once again an option for the defense. The Cruzeiro center-back suffered an injury to his left leg, in a muscle near the ankle, during the derby against Atlético-MG.

Now recovered, the player took part fully in training throughout the week and is expected to regain his starting spot against Vitória. João Marcelo, who had been playing in his place, may return to the bench.

Matías Viña appears among the squad list

Another new addition to the traveling squad is Matías Viña. Announced by Cruzeiro a week ago, the left-back has been registered and trained normally with the squad. As a result, the Uruguayan, on loan from Flamengo, is available to Artur Jorge for the first time.

What is Cruzeiro’s lineup for the match against Vitória?

Coach Artur Jorge is expected to line up Cruzeiro against the Bahia-based rubro-negro side with: Otávio; Fagner, Jonathan Jesus, Fabrício Bruno and Gabriel Rojas; Zé Lucas, Gerson, Matheus Pereira and Matheus Henrique; Keny Arroyo and Kaio Jorge.

The Belo Horizonte club has 42 points and sits in 6th place in the Brazilian Championship ahead of the match against Vitória in the 28th round. In 27 matches, they have 12 wins, six draws, and nine losses. The game against Leão is scheduled for Sunday at 4 p.m. at Barradão.
