Igor Lichnovsky or Ramón Juárez? André Jardine reveals who will start | OneFootball

Ramón Juárez has been one of the best central defenders on the team in recent tournaments; the homegrown Americanista has been gradually earning his place with great performances.

But for this tournament, Igor Lichnovsky returned and with that Ramón lost his starting position, sharing minutes with the Chilean-born defender. In fact, this semester, both have played eight games with 563 minutes for Ramón and 646 for Igor.

In a press conference after the last-minute draw against Rayados, André Jardine spoke about the situation both players are experiencing, saying the following:

“I want to congratulate Ramón. I have a high regard for Igor (Lichnovsky), because he is of high caliber. Remember his importance in the bi-championship. Some have their favorite, I like both, it's hard to say who is better. Ramón will have a future in the Mexican National Team and Igor is a reference in the Chilean National Team”.

With these words, André Jardine makes it clear that he will continue to rotate both players; this especially considering that Sebastián Cáceres is immovable for him.

It would not be a surprise at all if the midweek game is played by Igor Lichnovsky and Ramón Juárez returns for the classic against Pumas next weekend.
