    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    For the past three seasons, Liga MX has revolved around one team: América. Las Águilas boast three consecutive titles and, by far, are the club with the most championships in Mexico, with 16. For this FIFA break, three América players were omitted from their national teams: Henry Martín, Erick Sánchez, and Alejandro Zendejas, meaning this list could have been even larger.

    The players coached by André Jardine held an open-door training session on Wednesday, with Zendejas practicing alongside his teammates. However, Martín was absent due to ongoing muscular issues.
