Cruzeiro without six for Flamengo clash, Matheus Pereira one booking from ban

Cruzeiro travel to face Flamengo in the fifth round of the Brasileirão with six players unavailable.

As reported by Coluna Do Fla, William is suspended, while Bruno Rodrigues and Luís Sinisterra have right thigh muscle problems, Kaio Jorge has a foot trauma, Lucas Romero a rib fracture, and Marquinhos has a ruptured cruciate ligament with a meniscal injury in his left knee.

Matheus Pereira is one booking from a ban, having two yellow cards, so a caution against Flamengo would sideline the number 10 for the next round against Vasco.

Flamengo have two absences. Saúl Ñíguez remains in treatment after surgery on his left heel, and Bruno Henrique is recovering from pubalgia.

Kick-off is 21h30, Brasília time, on Wednesday 11th at the Maracanã.
