América’s omissions for the first leg against Philadelphia Union | OneFootball

This Tuesday, the Eagles will be visiting Philadelphia in the first leg of the Round of 16 of the Concachampions.

Club América arrives at this match after achieving a positive result against Querétaro, in a game that, although they had their ups and downs, helped the team regain some of the confidence they have lost in this tournament.

Now they will seek to achieve a positive result, one that allows them to take an advantage home, and for that, they will definitely need to score goals, as the main tiebreaker criterion is away goals.

Fortunately for Club América, the opponent at hand is also not in a good moment. After crushing Defence Force 12-0 in the first round, they have suffered three consecutive defeats at the start of the MLS season.

Therefore, it will be a duel in which both teams will likely not show their best version, and perhaps this will make the match more evenly matched than expected.

América's absentees for this match.

América will have three absences for this important match against Philadelphia.

Víctor Dávila, who will be out for the rest of the year due to a ligament rupture, Dagoberto Espinoza, who is already recovered from the same injury and is a few weeks away from returning to the field, and Isaías Violante, who will be out at least until mid-April.

UPDATE: Despite Henry Martín traveling with the rest of the team to Philadelphia, André Jardine confirmed that he is not yet ready to return to the field, so he will miss this match.
