Cruzeiro finished, on Tuesday afternoon at Toca da Raposa 2, the preparation for the classic against Atlético-MG, valid for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. The match will be played on Wednesday, at 19h30 (Brasília time), at Arena MRV. The last training session had the presence of Cabuloso fans, who accompanied part of the activity and showed support to the squad before the match.

Colombian striker Luis Sinisterra, a recent reinforcement of the club, participated in the activities with the group, although he is still a doubt for the match.

With the return of William, who overcame muscle problems in his thigh, the coach will have full strength for the classic. Kaio Jorge and Fabrício Bruno, called up by Carlo Ancelotti for friendlies of the Brazilian National Team, will also be available for the match. The only player suspended for the duel is midfielder Lucas Romero.

Thus, the probable lineup of Cruzeiro to face Atlético-MG is: Cássio; William, Fabrício Bruno, Villalba and Kaiki; Lucas Romero, Lucas Silva, Christian and Matheus Pereira; Wanderson and Kaio Jorge.

The presence of the fans at the CT reinforced the motivation of the group. During the final part of the training session, the fans were able to accompany the athletes closely, who reciprocated with applause and thanks. Although the classic on Wednesday will be with only Atlético-MG fans, Raposa will have its chance to receive support in the return match, scheduled for September 11, at Mineirão.

Cruzeiro arrives for the match after positive results in the Brasileiro, occupying the third place with 41 points. Atlético-MG, on the other hand, comes from a 2-0 defeat to São Paulo, but seeks recovery in the classic.
