Team news & squads
CF America team news
Brazilian manager Andre Jardine faces a growing injury list, as Víctor Davila exited the pitch before halftime with a significant setback. The Chilean forward was immediately transported to the hospital, where an x-ray confirmed a fractured fibula. This injury is likely to keep him sidelined for the remainder of the season, although the official statement from the blue-and-cream club emphasized that his return will hinge on recovery progress.
Alvaro Fidalgo, the Spanish midfielder, is also among the sidelined players, dealing with a sprained ankle. However, reports suggest that recent assessments offer a glimmer of hope, and he may be available for this weekend's clash with Monterrey.
Paraguayan midfielder Richard Sanchez remains doubtful due to muscle issues, and it's uncertain if he'll make the lineup for the upcoming encounter. Similarly, Uruguayan center-back Sebastian Caceres continues his recovery, while Ramon Juarez missed the latest match following a knee problem picked up in training. There's a possibility Juárez could make his return this weekend, but Igor Lichnovsky will be unavailable until the new year.
In their recent outing, Israel Reyes and Cristian Calderon received yellow cards, alongside Rodrigo Aguirre, who accumulated five bookings this season. As a result, Aguirre faces a suspension and won't be in the lineup, presenting another significant challenge for the coaching staff.
Club America possible XI: Malagon; Reyes, dos Santos, Vazquez, Calderon, Alvarez; Zendejas, Cervantes, Valdes; Dilrosun, Martin

| Goalkeepers: | Malagon, Estrada, Cota |

Monterrey team news
After his stunning display in the Clásico Regio, where he netted a crucial brace to secure La Pandilla's victory, young academy talent Iker Fimbres is set to be the center of attention if he takes the field again and Martín Demichelis continues to place his trust in him.
