América’s likely line-up to face Xolos: Clausura 2026 | OneFootball

This Friday, the Eagles will be visiting Xolos in what will be the first matchday of the Clausura 2026.

The Eagles enter this tournament with few changes compared to the squad from the previous tournament, as officially we only have three signings: Rodrigo Dourado, Fernando Tapia, and Aarón Mejía, with only Dourado expected to be a starter on paper.

Furthermore, as happened for most of the last semester, André Jardine will not be able to count on a full squad due to some players being injured. Henry Martín is completely ruled out, while Alejandro Zendejas and Isaías Violante are doubtful due to physical discomfort.

The opponent, Xolos, had a very active transfer market with signings like Ignacio Rivero, Josef Martínez, Diego Abreu, among other players; they also have the 'advantage' of being the home team, which implies synthetic turf.

The probable lineup to face Xolos.

In goal will be, Luis Ángel Malagón.

In central defense would be, Sebastián Cáceres alongside Ramón Juárez; on the right flank, Israel Reyes and on the left, Cristian Calderón.

In midfield, Rodrigo Dourado would debut alongside Álvaro Fidalgo; and slightly ahead of them, ‘Chiquito’ Sánchez.

And for the offensive zone, we would see Allan Saint-Maximin on the left, Víctor Dávila on the right, and ‘Pantera’ Zúñiga as the center forward.
