América exclude trio for Columbus Crew Leagues Cup quarter-final | OneFootball

On Wednesday, Club América face Columbus Crew in the Leagues Cup 2026 quarter-finals, chasing a first semi-final berth.

According to Americayya.net, América will be without Alejandro Zendejas, José Zúñiga and Miguel Borja for this tie. Guillermo Almada has overseen an eight-match unbeaten start, with six wins and two draws, after beginning the campaign with a trimmed squad and many youngsters.

Zendejas is close to full recovery but still needs minutes, so he could return for a possible semi-final or for matchday seven against Xolos on five September.

Zúñiga is not in the coaching staff’s plans, so he is not selected and they are looking for a club for him.

Borja has stayed at Coapa to keep building fitness and is expected to be on the bench this weekend for the Puebla match on 29 August.

América top the Apertura 2026 and enter this tie with the objective of becoming the first Mexican club to win the tournament.
