Cruzeiro Reserves Face Santos as Star Players Focus on Copa do Brasil
Cruzeiro Reserves are set to face Santos as key players shift their focus to the Copa do Brasil. This situation leaves significant gaps in the team. Notably absent will be Kaio Jorge, the top scorer in the Brasileirão with 21 goals.
Cruzeiro’s Key Players Missing
Alongside Jorge, Arrascaeta, the second highest scorer, will miss the match against Mirassol. He has made significant contributions but will not participate this time. Vitor Roque from Palmeiras, who has five fewer goals than Jorge, is also focusing on a different fixture against Ceará.
Current Form and Performance
- Kaio Jorge – 21 goals, top scorer of Brasileirão
- Arrascaeta – Key player, will miss match
- Vitor Roque – 16 goals, preparing for Palmeiras
Meanwhile, Arroyo has traveled with the team despite limited appearances against Ceará and Botafogo. The absence of these star players raises questions about the reserve squad’s ability to perform effectively against a tough opponent like Santos.
Looking Ahead
The focus now shifts to how Cruzeiro’s reserves will stack up against Santos, given the unavailability of their top talents. Fans are hopeful for a strong performance despite the challenges ahead.
