Lucas Romero and Bruno Rodrigues injured, ruled out for Cruzeiro | OneFootball

Cruzeiro confirmed on Monday (9) that two players from the squad suffered injuries after the final of the Campeonato Mineiro, held on Sunday (8) at Mineirão. Midfielder Lucas Romero and forward Bruno Rodrigues underwent medical examinations that detected physical issues, and both have already started treatment at the club's Health and Performance Department.

A starter in the final, Romero suffered a fracture in his left rib as a result of a trauma that occurred at 36 minutes into the first half of the match against Atlético-MG. Despite the impact, the Argentine midfielder remained on the field for the rest of the match, which ended with a celestial victory and the state title.

Meanwhile, forward Bruno Rodrigues was diagnosed with a muscle strain in his right thigh. The player entered during the match, and after undergoing examinations on Monday, the muscle injury was confirmed.

According to Cruzeiro, both cases will be treated in a conservative manner, without the need for surgical intervention. The recovery process has already begun at Toca da Raposa, under the supervision of the club's medical team.

Although the club has not officially disclosed the recovery time, it is likely that the athletes will miss the upcoming matches, such as the one next Wednesday (11) against Flamengo at Maracanã, for the 5th round of the Brazilian Championship.
