The warning lights have been turned on in América ahead of this Friday’s duel against Atlético de San Luis, in the resumption of the Clausura 2024 tournament after the break for the FIFA date and where the Águilas coach will not be able to take into account several players from his base team such as the naturalized Mexican Colombian Julián Quiñones, as well as the Chilean Diego Valdés, Spanish Álvaro Fidalgo and Mexican-American Alejandro Zendejas.
The four players have initially been reported with various discomfortsespecially muscular in appearance, which is why rest has been recommended for the key part of the championship and especially the league for the title.
If these four losses occur, the blow will be important in the actions of Americaespecially in the offensive aspect with the absences of Quiñones, Zendejas, Fidalgo and Valdés, as well as the recent departure from the organization of the Uruguayan Jonathan “Cabecita” Rodríguez.
Under this scenario, coach André Jardine will have to use players like the Uruguayan Brian Rodríguez, the Dutch Javairo Dilruson, the Paraguayan Richard Sánchez and Illán Hernández, among others, trying to put together a competitive team that can give a good fight to some people from Las Tunas who are very motivated by their latest results where they have two victories and one defeat.
These losses will be a great opportunity for the replacements, especially because it is assured that the American bench is luxury and any of its players would be starters. So this is the opportunity they were waiting for and above all the option to show if América continues to be the team to beat in the current championship.
For now, among the good news, is that the Chilean Diego Valdés is the one who has the best chance of seeing action against the San Luis team, but they do not want to risk it, especially since the muscle injury in the game against Chivas, in where he could only play 43 minutes before being relieved by Paraguayan Richard Sánchez.
Regarding the attack, everything indicates that the Brazilian coach could play with a single nine like Henry Martín and accompanied on the sides by the Uruguayan Brian Rodríguez and Javairo Dilruson, as well as a false nine Ilián Hernández and further back Richard Sánchez and Jonathan Dos Santos in attack.
