América's omissions for the Leagues Cup clash with Columbus | OneFootball

This Wednesday, Las Águilas will face Columbus Crew in the Leagues Cup 2026 quarterfinals.

Club América has had a much better start to the tournament than expected, putting together an eight-match unbeaten run with six wins and two draws; something that has been surprising, especially because the team practically started the tournament with a shorter squad and many young players.

But Guillermo Almada has done a very good job at the start of the season, managing to place the team at the top of the Apertura 2026 and into the quarterfinals of the Leagues Cup 2026.

Now he will be looking to take the team to the Leagues Cup semifinals for the first time, and he is also aiming to become the first Mexican club to win this international tournament.

América’s absences for this match.

Alejandro Zendejas: He has practically recovered from his injury, but he still needs to regain match fitness, so he is expected to return for a possible Leagues Cup semifinal or by Matchday 7 against Xolos on September 5.

José Zúñiga: He is not in the coaching staff’s plans, so he is not part of the squad list; they are looking for a new team for him.

Miguel Borja: He stayed in Coapa to continue getting back into rhythm, and it is expected that this very weekend he will already be on the bench for the match against Puebla next August 29.
