Cruzeiro vs Santos Team News

Both clubs head into this clash under significant pressure, having recently made changes to their technical leadership. Santos travel to Belo Horizonte under the guidance of returning manager Cuca, who replaced Juan Pablo Vojvoda following a disappointing midweek defeat to Internacional. The Peixe will be without superstar Neymar, who is being managed cautiously following his return from knee surgery, and forward Gabriel Barbosa, who is reportedly serving a suspension.

Cruzeiro, led by interim boss Wesley Carvalho, are grappling with an extensive injury list. The Raposa are missing veteran goalkeeper Cassio due to a long-term knee injury, as well as key attackers Luis Sinisterra and Kaio Jorge. However, there is a potential boost for the hosts as Matheus Pereira and Gerson are expected to return to the matchday squad to provide much-needed creative impetus.
