América players with the fewest minutes this term | OneFootball

We are reaching the final part of the season in this second half of 2025.

The Eagles have had a positive tournament so far; although they have suffered many injuries and some dips in performance, the team has consistently fought for the top spot on the table.

But not all players on the team have had a great tournament. There are several who have barely logged any minutes and others who were simply left out by André Jardine.

The players with the least activity this semester.

There are two players who have not played a single minute in official matches. The first is Santiago Naveda, who returned after being on loan with Santos; they tried to transfer him out, but couldn’t find a team for him, so he was registered with the first team.

Another who hasn’t played again is Néstor Araujo. His last match was precisely one for which he was heavily criticized: the second leg of the Concachampions quarterfinals against Cruz Azul, in which he was directly involved in the opponent’s goal that led to the Eagles’ elimination. In that match, he came on in the final minutes to close out the game, but it ended up being counterproductive.

Miguel Vázquez, a central defender, has only played 159 minutes, and most of those were to comply with the youth player rule. Among the central defenders, he is the second-to-last option, only ahead of Néstor Araujo.

And next, we have two big surprises: Henry Martín (259 minutes) and Ralph Orquín (264). Regarding Henry, there’s not much to say—unfortunately, he has spent most of the year injured, and in this season, most of his minutes came in the Leagues Cup.

As for Ralph, it’s a curious case, since they let Cristian Calderón go to bring him back, and he has barely played. In fact, the starter in that position, Cristian Borja, is the América player with the most minutes at 1,659, showing great confidence in the Colombian and none in the young homegrown Eagle.

The players with the fewest minutes:

*Patricio Salas is the only one who is not part of the first team.
