Gerson suffers knee knock, Cruzeiro sweat over next matches

What happened to Gerson in the Cruzeiro vs Pouso Alegre game, in the Campeonato Mineiro?

The midfielder Gerson became a concern in the game between Cruzeiro and Pouso Alegre, in the Campeonato Mineiro. Early in the match, the former Flamengo player received a blow to the knee and had to leave the field. Thus, the athlete will need to undergo a medical reassessment to determine the severity of the pain.

The incident occurred 25 minutes into the first half. At that moment, Gerson tried to anticipate and take control of the play, but Gabriel Tota ended up hitting the player's knee during the contest.

Immediately afterward, Gerson lay on the field and was substituted. On the bench, the midfielder showed some discomfort in the knee, however, despite the pain, he managed to walk to the locker room.

WILL GERSON MISS THE NEXT CRUZEIRO GAMES?

Given this situation, Gerson will need to be closely monitored by Cruzeiro's Medical Department. The first diagnosis will occur when the team returns to training at CT Toca da Raposa. If the exams reveal any injury, the midfielder will be absent from the team's upcoming commitments 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.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION IN THE 2026 SEASON?
