América probable XI to face León in Leagues Cup | OneFootball

Club América exited the Leagues Cup in the semi-finals, drawing 2-2 with Monterrey before losing on penalties, in a match marked by refereeing controversy. A penalty awarded to Monterrey was not checked by VAR, while a clear foul on Henry Martín went unpunished and VAR did not intervene.

Even so, América played well, created several chances and subdued a strong side that surprisingly sat deep. León, their next opponents, lost 2-0 to Toluca in the other semi despite being tipped to win the tournament. According to Americayya.net, this game carries little importance for América and they will field an alternative XI.

In goal, Fernando Tapia is likely to start.

In defence, Ramón Juárez could partner Miguel Vázquez, with Franco Rossano at left-back and Dagoberto Espinoza on the right.

Midfield is expected to pair Ícaro da Conceicao with Edwin Cerrillo, with Alexis Gutiérrez pushed on.

Up front, Óscar Perea on the left, Diego Arriaga on the right and Alejandro Cárdenas through the middle.
