Tigres managed to add one more defender to its squad before the summer market closes. The UANL team hired Samir Caetano, a 27-year-old Brazilian defender who played for Watford in the English second division. The board of the feline team was urgently seeking the signing of a central defender with guarantees to strengthen his most fragile line.
The burly 1.88 meter defender is shaping up to start in the second half of the Liga MX Apertura 2022 tournament. But when will he be able to debut with the UANL team? According to the most recent reports, Samir Caetano has already joined the training of the feline team and met both his teammates and the coaching staff.
According to this report, the soccer player from São Gonçalo is still not physically fit and is not considered to have minutes in the Clásico Regio against Monterrey this Saturday, August 20, at the Gigante de Acero.
Hugo Ayala, Guido Pizarro and Diego Reyes are shaping up to repeat in the defensive zone. Eduardo Tercero is another option for the central defender in case any of these elements is not fit to go out on the pitch in the Clásico Regio.
In this sense, Samir Caetano’s debut would have to wait for the duel on Wednesday, August 24 against Pumas or, with more certainty, until Saturday, August 27 against Necaxa at the Volcán.
