Tite may be forced to shake up Cruzeiro clash against Flamengo | OneFootball

Tite will have two confirmed absences for Cruzeiro in the match this Wednesday against Flamengo.

Lucas Romero and Bruno Rodrigues are out due to injury.

According to Central da Toca, physical strain may lead the coach to rest the starters who are in a more intense sequence of games. These include William, Kaiki, Fabrício Bruno, Gerson, and Matheus Pereira.

Tite's options for lining up Cruzeiro would be Fagner or Kauã Moraes at right-back, and Kauã Prates on the left.

In defense, Jonathan Jesus and João Marcelo are the immediate options, although it is unlikely that Fabrício Bruno will be rested.

The replacement for Lucas Romero should be Walace, Matheus Henrique, or Japa.

In attack, Keny Arroyo and Wanderson would be options if Gerson does not play.
