Marquinhos out for season with knee injury, unlikely to play for Cruzeiro | OneFootball

Cruzeiro announced through its social media that forward Marquinhos suffered a serious injury to his left knee during a training session at Toca da Raposa II. After undergoing tests, it was confirmed that he has a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, accompanied by a meniscal injury.

According to the club's statement, the player will undergo surgery in the coming days, which will be performed by doctor Sérgio Campolina, head of the medical department, at Hospital Orizonti in Belo Horizonte.

The injury is expected to keep Marquinhos out of action for the rest of the season, as the recovery process is usually lengthy in such cases. The forward, who had been included in the squad for recent matches, did not play in the last two games — his last appearance was in the draw against Sport in the Brazilian Championship.

Signed permanently from Arsenal, England, Marquinhos played 30 games for Cruzeiro in 2025, with one goal and one assist recorded so far.
