🤔Will he play Liguilla? Milito’s new signing trains with team | OneFootball

Chivas of Guadalajara are preparing intensely for the first leg of the Liguilla Quarter-finals against Cruz Azul. As they returned to training at Verde Valle, coach Gabriel Milito gave a sign of confidence by including academy player Samir Inda, whose recent performance with a stunning goal against Necaxa has generated excitement among the fans.

Milito has shown himself to be a coach who values young talent, integrating into the first team only those who are "technically, physically, and psychologically prepared," as was already the case with Santiago Sandoval.

Inda joins the team

Samir Inda joined the training sessions after being released due to not qualifying for the Liguilla with Tapatío. The academy player, who already had a memorable debut with the first team, participated in scrimmages with the reserve squad, showing intensity in pressing to recover the ball.

Inda made his debut in the victory over Necaxa, where he came on in the second half and finished a counterattack with a cross shot, sealing the final 3-1 with a spectacular goal that earned recognition from the fans.

Absences in the Liguilla

The return to work took place with five absences due to injuries and call-ups to the Mexican National Team, including Raúl Rangel, Roberto Alvarado, Armando González, Diego Campillo, and Miguel Tapias.

Inda's inclusion suggests that Milito is seriously considering adding him to the squad to face Cruz Azul, looking to give the team more depth ahead of the "Fiesta Grande" of Mexican football.
