Just this Wednesday, the Águilas got their ticket to the round of 16 of the CONCACAF Champions League when leaving on the road Real Esteli from Nicaragua, where there was good news, since both Kevin Alvarez as Henry Martin They finally added minutes again, however, the right back was absent from practice this Thursday, so he could once again remain a doubt thanks to the pubalgia that does not allow him to be one hundred percent.
Likewise, the Águilas will not have the Chilean Diego Valdeswho apparently suffered a torn calf, something that forced him to miss the round of sixteen. Concachampions. It is said that the recovery time would be between six and ten days, so he will not be ready for the visit to Bella Airosa.

However, it must be remembered that he abandoned last date's duel against Lion for a picket in the calf and according to TUDN could be discarded in the end.

Jonathan Rodriguez
Yes ok Pachuca It is the second best offense in the championship, it is also the second worst defense and that is where the Uruguayan would come in. Cabecita has scored goals in the last two games, first from a penalty against Lion and then in the return before Real Esteli. His overflow, speed and good ball striking are always dangerous, taking advantage of long and short spaces to get rid of his rivals.
Luis Malagon
Every day the presence of the goalkeeper is important, who was the figure of the club in the duels of Concachampions. In front of him he will have very good scorers like the Venezuelan Salomon Rondon and the moroccan Oussama Idrissi, who have had a good performance at the start of the semester. Added to this is the good ball hitting of Eric Sanchez and Javier Lopezso the goalkeeper will have to be fully concentrated to avoid the fall of his goal and not lose the undefeated goal in Hidalgo territory.
Igor Lichnovsky
The Chilean started during the week, but would repeat for this weekend, since he was the one who had the most cool head unlike the Uruguayan. Sebastian Caceres who quickly lost his temper and was even saved from expulsion thanks to VAR. Since the previous semester when he arrived unexpectedly and without much support from the fans due to his celestial past, he quickly gained the affection of the American fans for his dedication in each duel. He will have to give a duel without mistakes, especially because he will be measured against Rondon and Idrissiwho are very good at hand to hand.
Julian Quiñones
For now he has not been in his best version, but you can never do less to the Colombian, who can appear in any corner of the field. It is true that Henry Martin He already played again, but the Brazilian strategist Andre garden I wouldn't risk it so quickly after so much time away, so we could see the national team from the start. His scoring rate is not what was expected after five games played, four as a starter, since he has only scored one goal, however, his role is normally more as an assistant and someone to partner with to enter the area. .
Jonathan Dos Santos
One of the strengths of Pachuca is the midfield, led by Eric Sanchez, so someone on the Coapa side needs to be the organizer and the recoverer. The youngest of the Two Saints is one of the immovable pieces of gardenwho is normally accompanied by the Spanish Alvaro Fidalgo either Richard Sanchez. The two-time World Cup winner remains in top form and there is no doubt that he could be a factor in coming out with a positive result.
