América players with the fewest minutes this term | OneFootball

We are reaching the final part of the season in this second half of 2025.

The Eagles have had a positive tournament so far, as despite suffering many injuries and some dips in performance, the team has consistently fought for the top spot on the table.

However, not all players on the team have had a great tournament. There are several who have barely accumulated minutes and others who were outright sidelined by André Jardine.

The players with the least activity this semester.

There are two players who have not played a single minute of official matches. The first is Santiago Naveda, who returned after being on loan with Santos; they tried to find him a new team, but couldn't, so he was registered with the first team.

Another who hasn't played again is Néstor Araujo. His last match was one for which he was heavily criticized, the second leg of the Concachampions quarterfinals against Cruz Azul, where he directly contributed to the opponent's goal that led to the Eagles' elimination; he came on in the final minutes to close the game and ended up being counterproductive.

Miguel Vázquez, a central defender, has barely accumulated 159 minutes, mostly to comply with the youth rule, as among the central defenders, he is the second-to-last option, only ahead of Néstor Araujo.

And next, we have two big surprises: Henry Martín (259 minutes) and Ralph Orquín (264). Regarding Henry, there's not much to say; unfortunately, he has spent most of the year injured, and in this season, most of his minutes were in the Leagues Cup.

Regarding Ralph, it's an interesting situation, as they let Cristian Calderón go to bring him back, and he has practically not played. In fact, the starter in that position, Cristian Borja, is the player with the most minutes for América with 1,659, demonstrating great confidence in the Colombian and none in the young Eagles' homegrown player.

The players with the fewest minutes:

*Patricio Salas is the only one who is not part of the first team.
