America has been greatly reinforced to face the Liga MX Opening 2022 tournament. The group led by Fernando ‘Tano’ Ortiz took over the services of Jonathan ‘Cabecita’ Rodríguez, Néstor Araujo and Jürgen Damm for this season. During the first day none of the three elements had minutes. The Eagles could not get past the draw against Atlas on the field of the Azteca Stadium.
One of the questions that azulcremas fans are asking themselves is when they will be able to see their three reinforcements in action. This question does not have a single answer and depends on certain variables. It seems that Jürgen Damm will be the player who will debut first with the American team. The winger, who arrived as a free agent after breaking his bond with Atlanta United, had minutes in America vs. Atlas in the under-20 category.
The Mexican/German soccer player was on the substitute bench in the duel against the Foxes, but Fernando Ortiz decided not to give him minutes. In the same case is Néstor Araujo. The defender who arrived from Celta de Vigo was on the bench for matchday 1 and it seems that he is ready to have minutes in the next game.
Both Damm and Araujo arrived at the team in optimal physical condition. The winger did the preseason with the Eagles and the central defender remained in good shape. Both could have activity against Monterrey in matchday 2 of the 2022 Opening of Liga MX.
The case of Jonathan Rodríguez is very different. The Uruguayan does not come at the same pace as his teammates after half a year in which he had practically no activity at Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. The Uruguayan striker has already been registered with the team, but it seems that his period of adaptation to the Eagles will take longer than that of Araujo and Damm.
According to various journalistic reports, ‘Cabecita’ could be available to have a few minutes in the match against Rayados, however, it is expected that it will be until date 3 or 4 in which he will have a greater role.
