The defender João Marcelo has been cleared by Cruzeiro's medical department and will now follow the routine of the celestial team, as announced by the club late this Friday afternoon.

Having been away from the field since February, the defender needed to undergo surgery on his right knee. The injury occurred during the match against Uberlândia, in the Campeonato Mineiro.

João Marcelo joined Cruzeiro in 2024, on loan from Porto, and was permanently acquired by the celestial club last May for R$ 8 million. With strong performances, he earned his place and became a starter in the Minas Gerais team, being a key player until he suffered the multi-ligament knee injury.

Cruzeiro returns to the field this Saturday at 9 PM (Brasília time) to face São Paulo at Mineirão, in Belo Horizonte, for the 22nd round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
