Club America faces several injury concerns. Igor Lichnovsky is out due to knee surgery, while Erick Sanchez and Sebastian Caceres are doubtful for participation owing to illness and a muscle injury, respectively. Captain Henry Martin is also unlikely to play because of a thigh problem, leading to the possibility of Rodrigo Aguirre spearheading the attack. Key players like Brian Rodriguez, Israel Reyes, and others are also dealing with injuries.

For Santos Laguna, forward Jose Juan Macias is injured along with midfielders Diego Medina and Jordan Carrillo. Ronaldo Prieto is facing a knee-related doubt. Their lineup is expected to feature Choco Lozano leading the attack, with Emmanuel Echeverría at left-back, and Santiago Munoz possibly starting on the left wing over Fran Villalba.

The teams’ recent encounters have been competitive. Their last five matches have seen a mix of results, including draws and high-scoring affairs, reflecting a closely contested rivalry in the Liga MX.
