The Cruzeiro team that will visit Mirassol next Monday (18) is still an unknown.

Coach Leonardo Jardim is dealing with several significant absences and is trying to find solutions.

William is still uncertain due to a hip discomfort.

Without the injured Fagner, the tendency is for defender Jonathan Jesus to be chosen to play in an improvised position - which would not be unprecedented.

The other flank is likely to have Kauã Prates, as Kaiki Bruno is serving a suspension.

The midfield will not have Lucas Romero and Christian, who are also suspended.

Eduardo and Matheus Henrique are expected to be the substitutes.

The Raposa is expected to have the following lineup: Cássio; Jonathan Jesus, Fabrício Bruno, Villalba, and Kauã Prates; Lucas Silva, Eduardo, and Matheus Henrique; Matheus Pereira, Wanderson, and Kaio Jorge.

Leonardo Jardim will still have Sunday's (17) training session before deciding on the starting eleven.

Second in the Brasileirão with 37 points, Cruzeiro will face the big surprise of the competition, which has 28 points and is close to the G-4.
