Club América is set to face Club León in a crucial Liga MX Apertura 2026 match on October 18, 2026, at Estadio León. However, the team will be without two key players: Brazilian midfielder Raphael Veiga and Colombian forward Miguel Borja.
Veiga sustained a knock during a recent training session, leading the coaching staff to exclude him from the squad to prevent further injury. This marks his second absence this season; he previously missed a match against Necaxa due to a similar issue. (rotowire.com)
Borja, on the other hand, is serving a suspension following a red card received in the previous match against Monterrey. (soyfutbol.com)
These absences pose a challenge for head coach Guillermo Almada as he seeks to maintain América's position at the top of the league standings. Potential replacements include Spanish midfielder Carlos Álvarez, who has previously filled in for Veiga, and forward Henry Martín, who may step in for Borja. (365scores.com)
