Gerson suffers knee knock, Cruzeiro fear for next matches | OneFootball

What happened to Gerson during the Cruzeiro vs Pouso Alegre match in the Campeonato Mineiro?

The midfielder Gerson became a concern during the Cruzeiro match against Pouso Alegre in the Campeonato Mineiro. Early in the game, the former Flamengo player took a hit to his knee and, as a result, had to leave the field. Thus, the athlete will have to undergo a medical re-evaluation to determine the severity of the pain.

The challenge occurred at the 25th minute of the first half. On that occasion, Gerson tried to get ahead in the play, but Gabriel Tota ended up hitting the player’s knee during the contest.

Soon after, Gerson lay down on the field and was substituted. On the bench, the midfielder showed some discomfort in his knee; however, even while in pain, he managed to walk to the locker room.

WILL GERSON MISS THE NEXT CRUZEIRO MATCHES?

Given this situation, Gerson will need to be closely monitored by Cruzeiro’s Medical Department. The first diagnosis will take place when the team returns to training at CT Toca da Raposa. If the tests reveal any injury, the midfielder will miss the team’s upcoming matches this season.

It’s important to note that Flamengo’s next match in the Brasileirão will be precisely against Cruzeiro. Therefore, if an injury is confirmed, Gerson will not play against his former team on March 11 at Maracanã.

HOW IS FLAMENGO’S SITUATION IN THE 2026 SEASON?

While Gerson may become a doubt for Cruzeiro, the Flamengo squad is focusing on their next match of the season. On Monday (02), the Rubro-Negro faces Madureira in the second leg of the Carioca semifinal.

The match kicks off at 9 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will provide detailed coverage of the match with the most Flamengo-focused coverage on the internet via YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
