Taking the lead in the Clausura Tournament is a big challenge, but the path could be smoother with the complete squad. Sporting Cristal will rest in matchday 11, but for the next one, they will be able to count on key players to have more options in the final stretch of the championship.
The "celestes" have taken a three-point lead over their closest pursuer, Universitario, and during this short rest break, they will recover some players. The first one is Brenner Marlos, the Brazilian suffered a calf injury, so he will start working with more loads this week.

The coaching staff is clear that his presence will be guaranteed for Sunday, September 10th, by continuing with their process to the letter. The forward is the team's top scorer with 11 goals and his return will be more than important in the Clausura Tournament.
Jesús Pretell suffered a small tear a few weeks ago, but his recovery is going well. The midfielder will join the work normally, and it will depend on the coaching staff if he returns to the starting lineup or becomes an option for specific moments.
Finally, Alejandro Duarte has a minor sprain, so this rest weekend will be good for him to be back against Sport Boys and continue competing for the position against Renato Solís.
