According to Globo Esporte, Gerson underwent platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment on his right thigh after being substituted during the Copa do Brasil match in which his team was eliminated by Atlético Mineiro, with hopes of being fit for the match at Mineirão Stadium. However, his participation in Cruzeiro's Brasileirão match against Athletico Paranaense remains uncertain.

Gerson reported over the weekend that he felt pain in his hamstring during the first leg against Atlético Mineiro. As a result, he did not travel with the Rio de Janeiro-based team for the away match against Vasco da Gama on Saturday, which Cruzeiro ultimately lost 1-3.

According to ge, the number 8 received treatment in Belo Horizonte throughout the weekend and completed PRP therapy. This is a recovery treatment that uses the patient's own blood to accelerate healing in the affected area. Recently, Neymar and Gabriel Barbosa have also used this method to treat muscle injuries.

The training schedule on Monday will determine whether Gerson can participate in the derby. Given the match's importance, he could feature but not play the full 90 minutes, with the original plan being for him to play approximately 60 to 70 minutes.

The midfielder was substituted in the 20th minute of the second half, at which point Matheus Pereira and Kayke Jorge also left the pitch. This was because Villalba was sent off with a red card. However, before the red card was shown, Matheus Henrique was already on the sideline ready to replace Gerson.

On Wednesday, Gerson had a rest day as part of his recovery plan and did not participate in training. He also did not participate in field training when the team reconvened on Thursday. Arthur Jorge will continue to oversee training on Friday and Saturday in preparation for the match against Athletico Paranaense.

Since joining at the beginning of this year, Gerson has played in 41 of Cruzeiro's 50 matches this season, level with Kenny Arroyo and behind only Fabrício Bruno with 43 appearances and Matheus Pereira with 45 appearances.
