  "account": "Cruzeiro and Athletico reveal their squads for Sunday's match at Mineirão, in the 26th round of the Brasileirão. The game will be broadcast by Globo and Premiere. The teams are vying for a high position in the championship. Cruzeiro currently sits sixth with 39 points, whereas Athletico leads the table in third place with 45 points. Cruzeiro's injury update: Jonathan Jesus is sidelined. Additionally, Bruno Rodrigues, Gabriel Pec, and Sinisterra are still recuperating. Meanwhile, Fabrício Bruno returns to the lineup after serving a suspension in the previous Brasileirão match against Vasco. Gerson had been a doubt due to pain from their previous Copa do Brasil defeat to Atlético-MG, but he is now fit to start. Artur Jorge makes three substitutions from their last match: João Marcelo, Rojas, and Matheus Henrique enter the game, while Jonathan Jesus, Villalba, and Wesley are replaced. The starting lineup for Cruzeiro is as follows: Otávio, Fagner, Gilberto Moraes, Lucas Romero, Gerson, Matheus Henrique, Matheus Pereira, Arroyo, Kaio Jorge. For Athletico, head coach Odair Hellmann faces two absences: Benavídez is suspended, and Claudinho is injured. Gilberto Moraes replaces Benavídez in the right-back position. Lucas Esquivel returns to the bench for the left-back role. The most notable change is in goal: after his errors in the 3-3 draw with Fluminense, Santos is replaced by Mycael. Mycael's starting lineup is: Dantas, Aguirre, and Arthur Dias; Gilberto Moraes, Luiz Gustavo, Jadson, João Cruz, and Mendoza; Leozinho and Kevin Viveros.",
