Good news for Chivas after recovering Isaac Brizuela, who tested negative for Covid and will be considered for the return match against León
Chivas attacking midfielder Isaac Brizuela joined training on Friday after testing negative on his second Covid-19 test. Therefore, the player is back and will be considered by Víctor Manuel Vucetich.
Brizuela, who missed the first game against León, will be one of the novelties in the red and white team for the return match on Saturday at the Nou Camp Stadium.
With Brizuela's return, Guadalajara has a complete squad for the match against León on Saturday, after recovering José Juan Macías and considering Jesús Angulo and Alexis Vega, who are still recovering from injuries but are already training with the team and could play if needed on Saturday.

So far, the only player Chivas will be unable to count on for the return match against León is forward Ángel Zaldívar, who will miss the rest of the tournament due to a muscle injury suffered at the beginning of the playoffs.
TIBA SEPÚLVEDA WITH DISCOMFORT
After experiencing discomfort at the end of the first leg against León, Chivas center-back Gilberto Sepúlveda remained under observation by the medical staff after reporting ankle pain.
Despite the pain, the defender continued training with his teammates on Friday in order to determine if he is in optimal condition for the match on Saturday.
If not fully recovered, Sepúlveda could be on the bench and his place will be taken by center-back Antonio Briseño.
