Good news for América

Miguel Herrera will now be able to count on Renato Ibarra, Pablo Aguilar, Mateus Uribe, and Cecilio Domínguez for Friday's match against Tijuana, a situation that strengthens the team both in terms of football and morale, as competition for a spot returns.

Renato Ibarra and Pablo Aguilar got injured in the match of Matchday 6 against Tigres and could not be part of the last two matches against Morelia and Atlas, as well as the Copa match against Atlas. Meanwhile, Mateus Uribe had problems with his back and is just recovering from them, having only played in the Copa and not yet in the Liga. As for Cecilio, the Paraguayan came on as a substitute in the match against Veracruz, where he received a knock, but this situation was not a concern and he may be eligible for Friday's match.

"The four are fine, Cecilio's situation was a very strong blow he received in the match, he did specific work, but the four have been working with the team, and we are in the dilemma of choosing the 9 foreigners," commented Piojo.

Regarding his return to Tijuana, a city where he landed after his departure from the Mexican national team, Miguel Herrera pointed out that it is "a different team from the one I coached, it is a city very committed to its team, and we go with the awareness of going for the three points that give us the possibility of getting closer to qualifying. It is special because of the people and the gratitude I have towards that management, but my mind is focused on getting three points for América."

Piojo highlighted Tijuana's recovery in the last matchdays, mentioning that they have adapted well to Eduardo Coudet's ideas and have reflected this on the field of play.

For Herrera, the factor of the synthetic pitch and his knowledge of Tijuana is not something that gives him an advantage because he commented that the only advantage is being able to tell his players if the game will be faster or slower, in addition to there being many changes in the squad and also in the style of play.
