The poor performance of Rayados and injuries force Antonio Mohamed to shake up his lineup against Santos. The coach will debut young Eric Cantú in midfield and send Hugo González to the bench.
The Regio team has only managed one victory in their last five matches, and they were also eliminated from the Copa MX in the middle of the week. To make matters worse, injuries to Jonathan González, José Basanta, Jonathan Urretaviscaya, and Leonel Vangioni have affected the northern team.
The 19-year-old midfielder had already seen action in the Copa MX when they faced Correcaminos on Tuesday, February 27th, leaving a good impression.
Cantú is part of the Sub-20 team of la Pandilla, where he has played nine matches, all of them as a starter, catching the attention of the Turco, who is hoping to find another homegrown player of the caliber of Cesar Montes or Jonathan González.
Furthermore, Juan Pablo Carrizo will take Hugo González's place in goal, after Mohamed stated following their elimination in the Copa MX that the Argentine is in better form than the Mexican, who will accompany Dorlan Pabón on the bench.
