Veljko Paunovic has all his players available for the match against Mazatlán, so he didn't think twice about calling up his best players for the match on Matchday 17.
Why is the call-up unusual?
This is the first time so far in the Clausura 2023 that Pauno has called up 25 players for a league match. This will undoubtedly serve to close ranks and keep the group united in preparation for the big party in Mexican soccer.
