In addition to three wins in their three Sky Cup matches, Veljko Paunovic's Chivas have made consistent progress in their soccer performance and this Tuesday night they will be looking to finish the group stage on a high note when they face their fierce city rivals in a new edition of El Clásico Tapatío.
Among the 26 players that the red and white coach considered for this duel, there is the name of an element that the Rojiblanca Nation was eagerly awaiting. Who is it?
We would like to remind you that 'Piojo' Alvarado and JJ Macías continue with their rehabilitation process, so we are not talking about them. Neither is Ronaldo Cisneros, as his transfer has not yet arrived from MLS.
Likewise, neither 'Pocho' Guzmán nor Daniel Ríos can play for Chiverío in this tournament. So who is it?
The long-awaited return we are talking about is that of Alexis Vega, who concluded his physical readaptation program to high competition and was included in the list of players to face the Red and Blacks.
Chivas' call-up list for the match against Atlas:
- Goalkeepers: Miguel Jiménez, Raúl Rangel, Antonio Rodríguez.
- Defenders: Gilberto Orozco, Gilberto Sepúlveda, Luis Olivas, Hiram Mier, Jesús Sánchez, Antonio Briseño, Alan Mozo, Alejandro Mayorga, Cristian Calderón, Diego Campillo.
- Midfield: Fernando Beltrán, Rubén González, Sebastián Pérez Bouquet, Eduardo Torres, Pável Pérez, Sergio Flores, Zahid Muñoz.
- Forward: Alexis Vega, Isaac Brizuela, Santiago Ormeño, Luis Puente, José González, Marioni Ham.
