Wesley, João Costa and Lucho Rodríguez joined Cruzeiro from the Saudi Arabian league in the mid-year window. However, they have struggled to adapt to the demands of Brazilian football. Wesley has played the most games, with 12 appearances, but has only started five matches.
João Costa has been left out of the squad for several games, including the matches against São Paulo, Bragantino and Grêmio. Lucho Rodríguez has played the least, with only seven appearances and two assists. The players were brought in to provide depth and competition for the existing squad, but it appears that they have not been able to break into the team.
