Cruzeiro handed late boost for clash with Flamengo in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Which player will reinforce Cruzeiro in the match against Flamengo?

Cruzeiro’s next fixture in the Brasileirão will be against Flamengo this Thursday (02), for the Brasileirão. For this clash, Leonardo Jardim, coach of the Minas Gerais team, has received a last-minute reinforcement. It’s Sinisterra.

Sinisterra has been sidelined for Cruzeiro since the match against Bragantino due to a thigh injury. The team from Minas Gerais had hoped to count on the forward against Vasco last Saturday (27), but it didn’t happen.

Anticipating the ‘final’ against Flamengo, Cruzeiro intensified preparations to have Sinisterra available this Thursday (02). Responding well to tests, the player traveled to Rio de Janeiro and is among those listed for the Minas Gerais team for the upcoming match.

DOES CRUZEIRO HAVE MORE REINFORCEMENTS FOR THE MATCH AGAINST FLAMENGO?

Yes! In addition to having Sinisterra, coach Leonardo Jardim will also have Gabigol and Vilalba available again. The duo missed the Cruzeiro match against Vasco due to automatic suspension.

However, Vilalba returns to form a center-back partnership with Fabrício Bruno, a former Flamengo player. Meanwhile, Gabigol is expected to start on the bench for Cruzeiro in the clash with Mengão this Thursday (02).

AND WHAT ABOUT FLAMENGO?

Flamengo comes at full strength for the match against Cruzeiro. The only absence is Erick Pulgar, who is still recovering from surgery on the fifth metatarsal of his right foot. The Chilean is expected to return to the team later this October.
