América two out for San Diego in Leagues Cup 2026 opener | OneFootball

América open their Leagues Cup 2026 campaign on Thursday against San Diego at Estadio Azteca.

According to Americayya.net, the side are aiming to improve on recent editions, having twice gone out on penalties in the knockouts and, last time, exiting after three draws.

San Diego have struggled in MLS this season, sitting 13th in the Western Conference on 21 points, 13 behind the leaders.

América will be without two players for this match, while recent arrivals Óscar Perea and Edwin Cerrillo are available for selection.

Alejandro Zendejas, the No 10, is still recovering from injury and, if all goes well, is around a month from returning.

Luis Ángel Malagón’s recovery is progressing faster than expected, so he could be back during September.
