Cruzeiro is racing against time to have Fabrício Bruno available for the decisive match against Atlético-MG, for the return of the quarterfinals of the Brazil Cup, Thursday, at 7:30 pm (Brasília time), at Mineirão.
The defender is expected to start for the Brazilian National Team this Tuesday, against Bolivia, at an altitude of over 4,000 meters, for the last round of the South American Qualifiers for the World Cup.
Therefore, Cruzeiro will have to go the extra mile in terms of logistics to ensure that Fabrício Bruno will be physically capable of performing at a high level despite the long distance traveled to return to Belo Horizonte.
The match between Bolivia and Brazil takes place this Tuesday, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time). The National Team delegation will return to Rio de Janeiro on a chartered flight immediately after the match, landing in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
From the capital of Rio, Fabrício Bruno will travel directly to Belo Horizonte, arriving in Minas Gerais on the eve of the match, just over 24 hours before the ball rolls for the most important Minas Gerais classic of the season.
It remains to be seen whether Fabrício Bruno will feel the weight of the long journeys in the duel with Atlético-MG. With high confidence after another call-up for the Brazilian National Team, the defender will have the chance to show that not even fatigue can question his status as one of the best defenders in Brazilian football.
