Cruzeiro lineup against Vitória
Leonardo Jardim will count on striker Rayan Lelis among the options for the team. The player was on vacation, as was the entire Cruzeiro U20 squad, but was called in by Leonardo Jardim after injuries to Marquinhos, Wanderson and Bolasie.
Lucas Villalba and Fabrício Bruno are suspended for this round. In addition to the starting trio, Cruzeiro still does not have Fagner and Matheus Henrique, who have progressed in recovering from fibula and rib fractures, respectively, but remain out of the matches. Marquinhos, who underwent knee surgery this week, will only return to play at the end of the first half of 2026.
Cruzeiro’s probable lineup: Cassio; William, Jonathan Jesus, João Marcelo (Gamarra) and Kaiki; Lucas Romero, Lucas Silva and Matheus Pereira; Christian, Keny Arroyo and Kaio Jorge. Technical: Leonardo Jardim.
Probable Vitória lineup
Thiago Couto; Willian Oliveira, Camutanga and Zé Marcos; Paulo Roberto, Ricardo Ryller, Dudu, Cantalapiedra and Ramon; Erick and Renato Kayzer. Technical: Jair Ventura.
