This Thursday, Club América will face Austin in what will be the final matchday of the Leagues Cup 2026 group stage.

The team managed by Guillermo Almada entered this tournament with a pair of victories, which have them as leaders of the Liga MX group.

The Eagles are very close to securing their qualification for the next round, and they could even clinch it tonight without having to play their final group match.

But either way, it is important for the team to try to finish this first phase as group leaders, since that would allow them to choose a venue for the final stage, where they would play the rest of their matches; this obviously in the United States.

The players ruled out for this match that will close the first phase.

The good news is that América have not had any injured players in this Leagues Cup, so they have all the players who have already been available in this tournament.

The only confirmed absences are Luis Ángel Malagón and Alejandro Zendejas, both hoping to be back by next September.

The one who remains doubtful is Edwin Cerrillo, the Eagles’ latest signing, who only just started training with the team and therefore it will be up to the coaching staff to decide whether to put him on the bench for this match.
