The probable alignment of América vs Querétaro for Matchday 2 of Clausura 2024

Next Saturday, January 20, America receives Queretaro in it Aztec stadium for Matchday 2 of the 2024 Clausura Tournament, of the Liga MX. Although at first it was assumed that those from Coapa would leave El Nido due to the remodeling of the property, in the end, they will maintain their first two commitments in the Colossus of Saint Ursula instead of Sports City Stadium.

For the first date, the Eagles decided to rest several of their starting players because last Monday the 8th they barely showed up for preseason and the Brazilian coach André Jardine He wanted to avoid possible injuries due to not being fully fit. Due to this, before Xolos He brought in several of the elements that are normally substitutes, as well as several youth players. They had no appearance Henry Martin, Julian Quiñones, Sebastian Caceres, Jonathan Rodriguez, Igor Lichnovsky, Brian Rodriguez, Alvaro Fidalgo and Diego Valdes. Despite this, the azulcremas won 0-2 thanks to a double from Salvador Reyes.

Most likely the helmsman will still not use all of his starters because last Saturday they had agreed to a friendly against Black Lions that was cancelled, so little by little it will add its most important pieces.

After drawing 2-2 in their debut against Toluca in it Corregidora StadiumGallos Blancos presented a new face: Samuel Sosa. The Venezuelan left winger arrives from Emelec from Ecuador on loan for one year with an option to purchase, although he only showed up this week to carry out studies, so he will probably not see action against the people of the capital.
