Does Cruz Azul (MEX) have an absence for the game against Flamengo?


Cruz Azul (MEX) is the first opponent of Flamengo in the Intercontinental competition, in Doha, Qatar. For the match this Wednesday (10), the Mexican team has an absence.

Defender Jesús Orozco is a confirmed absence for the upcoming duel, as he is under the care of the Medical Department. The player's injury occurred last Saturday (08) during Cruz Azul's game against Tigres (MEX) in the Mexican championship.

It is important to note that besides the absence, Cruz Azul arrives 'on a low' for the Intercontinental competition. This is due to the Mexican team being eliminated in the national championship semifinal last Saturday (08).

KEEP AN EYE ON THEM, FLAMENGO!

Gabriel Fernández is one of Cruz Azul's main 'weapons'. This is because, throughout this season, the forward has been the top scorer for the Mexican team. Additionally, Faravelli, who was praised by coach Filipe Luís, also stands out as one of the decisive players for the Mexican team.

HOW IS FLAMENGO PREPARING FOR THE GAME AGAINST CRUZ AZUL?

Flamengo is going with full strength for their debut in the Intercontinental. The only absence remains Pedro, who is still recovering from a thigh injury. In short, the number 9 is with the delegation in Qatar, and there is an expectation of the player's return throughout the tournament. Finally, the team's base should be the same that won the Brasileirão and the Libertadores titles.
