CF America team news
As Club América prepares to face Necaxa at Estadio Victoria, they are looking to build on their recent momentum after a strong performance in the National Classic, where they triumphed over Atlas with a convincing three-goal display.
Under the guidance of coach Andre Jardine, America aims for their third consecutive victory in Liga MX, which would not only boost their position in the standings but also enhance their morale ahead of the upcoming Campeones Cup against Columbus Crew. However, the team faces challenges with injuries that could impact their lineup.
The bad news for the visitors is the injury to defender Israel Reyes, who has suffered a muscle tear and will be sidelined for this match. His absence adds to a list of injuries that have plagued the squad, preventing Jardine from fielding a fully fit team this season.
Despite these setbacks, the return of Alejandro Zendejas and the addition of new signing Víctor Dávila provide some optimism for the team's attacking options. Jardine is expected to utilize a formation that allows for creativity and width as they look to exploit Necaxa's defense.
Club América possible XI: Malagón; Álvarez, Araújo, Juárez, Calderón; dos Santos, Sánchez, Fidalgo; Dilrosun, Dávila, Martín
Position | Players |
---|---|
Goalkeepers: | Malagon, Estrada, Cota |
Defenders: | Reyes, Alvarez, Araujo, Calderon, Borja, Juarez, Vazquez |
