In addition to being unavailable for the Brazilian National Team, midfielder Ricardo Goulart has also become a problem for coach Marcelo Oliveira. The player suffered a strain in his left thigh, confirmed this Friday, and will not face Internacional this Saturday in the Brazilian Championship.
The setback comes at a terrible time for the Cruzeiro coach, as the match against Internacional is a direct battle for the national title.
Marcelo's situation is further complicated by the fact that Goulart's direct replacement, Júlio Baptista, is also injured. The coach's options are Willian, Dagoberto, or Marlone.
The match against Colorado takes place starting at 18:30 PM this Saturday.
