Cincinnati, Ohio - El Guadalajara is already in the U.S. for its pair of friendly matches of the September Tour Rebaño. First up, FC Cincinnati, as part of the Leagues Cup Showcase 2022, followed 4 days later by the Super Clasico in Atlanta. However, Ricardo Cadena will have to find a way to make up for an important absence to face these commitments.
So, who is it? Did he travel with the team? Hold your horses ChivaHermanos, find out all about it here.
Well, the player in question has been one of the key pieces in the Chivas comeback in recent weeks, since his return the team jumped from second to last place to seventh place in the standings, his performance on the pitch providing stability and balance to el Rebaño Sagrado's midfield.
Still unsure of who we're talking about? Let's see if you can find out by taking a closer look at his individual performance.
A starter in the last 8 matches, he has registered a total of 70 recovered balls, 15 defensive one-on-ones in favor, 52 rejections and 276 successful passes for a total of 87% effectiveness in passing the ball; in addition, he has shot at goal 5 times, has already provided 1 assist, a masterful one by the way, and has participated in 2 goals.
If you are still wondering who will be missed in the Chiverío's call-up list, it is Sergio Flores, who received a permission to stay in the Perla de Occidente to undergo a dental procedure, including a minor surgery, which he had pending for a few weeks, so we wish a speedy recovery to our dear 'Checo'.
¡Ya estamos en Cincinnati!
