O clássico contra o Cruzeiro, nesta quinta-feira na Arena MRV, ainda encontra o Atlético-MG desfalcado. A bola rola às 19h30, pela 33ª rodada do Brasileirão, e Eduardo Domínguez não definiu se usa o time titular ou poupa nomes.
Seguem no departamento médico Ruan Tressoldi, Fred e Cassierra, todos com lesão na coxa esquerda, além de Thiago Borbas (coxa direita) e Cuello (trauma na costela). O zagueiro Vitor Hugo cumpre suspensão pelo terceiro cartão amarelo; Vitão e Lyanco formam a dupla de zaga.
A maior incógnita é Fred: em recuperação, ele tem expectativa de ser relacionado, sobretudo pensando na semifinal da Copa do Brasil contra o Grêmio, no fim de semana. Cuello, referência no ataque, deve continuar fora.
A poupança já foi adotada na segunda-feira, diante do Flamengo, e a tendência é repetir a dose: os que cumpriram 90 minutos tendem ao banco — Renan Lodi e Bernard entre eles —, abrindo vagas para Pascini e Igor Gomes. Já os que atuaram menos de 45 minutos, como o volante Castaño e o atacante Reinier, devem ser titulares.
No gol, a dúvida é Everson. Ele foi liberado do DM, mas não foi relacionado nas duas partidas anteriores; Delfim continua sendo a primeira escolha.
A formação provável tem Delfim no gol, com Everson de alternativa; Natanael (Franco) e Pascini (Lodi) nas laterais, ao lado de Vitão e Lyanco na zaga; Alan Franco, Castaño e Alexsander (Scarpa) no meio; Victor Hugo, Igor Gomes (Bernard) e Reinier no ataque.
