Santa Cruz lose keeper Mamá and Fred for Lajeadense clash

Santa Cruz beat Grêmio Bagé 1-0 to reach 17 points in the Gaúcho Série A2, but for Sunday's match against Lajeadense they will be without suspended goalkeeper Rodrigo Mamá and midfielder Fred, plus four injured players. Lucas Severo, Ben-Hur and Tuninho return from suspension.

What it means

• Goalkeeper Rodrigo Mamá and midfielder Fred are suspended after a third yellow card.
• Lucas Evangelista, Kevlin, David Cunha and Felipe Café are in the medical department and likely to miss out.
• Lucas Severo, Ben-Hur and Tuninho return from suspension for the Sunday 15:00 match at Estádio dos Plátanos.

Model read

Santa Cruz are notably weakened: the first-choice goalkeeper and a starting midfielder are suspended and four more players are injured, so the hosts go into a regional clásico with a patched-up side against a Lajeadense team that needs to win.
