Toluca lose key player ahead of clash with América | OneFootball

América and Toluca will close out the regular phase of the Apertura 2025 in what could be the match that decides the leader of the Apertura 2025.

Currently, Toluca remains the leader of the tournament, but with just a one-point difference over their closest pursuers, Tigres and Cruz Azul, and only two points ahead of América, who, despite the draw against Mazatlán, are still in the race.

There are still two rounds left in the tournament, and before facing each other, Toluca will have to visit Atlas and América will host León at home; on paper, both teams are favorites and are expected to take all three points.

If this happens, we would reach the final round with only a two-point difference, giving the Eagles the chance to take all three points and finish above them.

Toluca loses their best player for this match.

Antonio Mohamed, Toluca’s coach, spoke at a press conference and revealed that Alexis Vega suffered a muscle injury that will keep him out of the matches against Atlas and América.

This is good news for the Eagles, since without a doubt, Alexis is one of the best players in the current tournament and it would have been very difficult to stop him in the final round, especially playing at home.

Additionally, it is expected that for this match the Eagles will be able to recover most of their squad, remembering that they currently have seven injured players.
